a very essential component of all these projects. Though
some years have passed since the establishment of these
projects, very few scientific studies have been designed
to evaluate extension programs adopted by these projects.
To fill this gab this study had been designed to
evaluate such programs in three major development projects
in Yeme~. These projects are:-
Middle Highlands Development Project.
southern Highlands Development Project.
Tihama Development Authority (TDA).
