of NAADS are effectively implemented however some of the respondents 34.1% reported that
the programs are highly monitored. It was found out that participatory monitoring as the main
form of program monitoring and evaluation. It was found out that that development of farmers
groups is one of implementation methods used by NAADS. Farmers are argued to participate in
the formation of farmers’ groups. It was found out that corruption was the biggest challenges in
NAADS, as reported by the majority. Majority of the people in office misuse the organization
funds and resources in un ethical way.

NAADS programme implementation particularly at the lower level. Beneficiaries right from the
group level need to get involved in all the activities of the programme including planning,
identifying their needs, and selecting their own favorite enterprises, while the farmers’ forum,
sub-county technical staff and extension workers play an advisory role.
