Each G(;-promoter will be responsible for the training of 10
rural leaders in the new technologies in coordination with "tcnicos" of
ICTA 4 T's. These Ag-leaders will be hired and paid by the project,
and will be recruited based on their degree of leadership within a
community, geographical location within the area of the project, land
ownership, and whenever possible, ability to read and write. The main
activity of these rural leaders will be to organize a group of 20 farmers
and conduct "transference plots" in his farm, and on their farms.
These transference plots will be the field laboratories where farmers
will have the opportunity to observe and learn by themselves the results
of using technological innovations which are based on their needs and
available resources. The inputs and labor in the transference plot are
the responsibility of the owner of the farm where this is conducted,
just as in the farmer-managed trials that ICTA's 4 T's conduct (Ortiz,
1980, page 14).
 The described module covers 200 farmers, but its potential is
larger Just by increasing to three the number of AG-promoters to
enlarge the multiplying effect, the number of farmers directly exposed
to new technologies will reach 600 (Fig. 3). The desired coverage will
be a function of the number of established modules, which in its turn
will be determined by size of the area, number of farmers,
infrastructure, and available resources for the project in that given
area. It is estimated that each modular system will reach 7,200
farmers. Fhis project includes the establishment of four modules and
will finance activities for four years, this means that 115,200 farmers
are expected to be reached directly by new technologies.

 Montoring and feed-back will be important activities during the
process and the participation of researchers, AG-promoters, AG-
leaders, and farmers is included. For those purposes, there will be
technical meetings, programmed visits to transference plots, and the
annual presentation of results and planning of activities for the coming
cycle The final evaluaton of the project will be conducted by ICTA,
DIGESA. DIGESEPE, and the Sectorial Unit of Agricultural Planning
(USPADAY.
