英文文献摘要：
The devolved governance structure in Kenya places the provision of agricultural sector services such as extension at the local units. However, farmers’ awareness on this aspect and where services are available remains limited and often there is confusion. In order to provide clarity and enhance the understanding of extension service delivery, this study sought to characterize farmers’ awareness of agricultural extension devolution and analyze factors that influence their awareness. Data was collected in Meru County using semi-structured questionnaires through face-to-face interviews on a representative multi-stage sample of 288 farmers. A binary logit model was applied to analyze the determinants of farmers’ awareness. Slightly less than half of the respondents indicated that they were aware of agricultural extension devolution. The factors that were found to significantly enhance awareness are attendance to farmer field days, land tenure security, income and education.

肯尼亚下放了治理结构，将农业部门服务的提供，如推广，安排在地方单位。然而，农民对这方面以及可获得的服务的认识仍然有限，常常出现混乱。为了明确和增进对推广服务提供的理解，本研究试图描述农民对农业推广权力下放的意识，并分析影响他们意识的因素。数据收集采用半结构式问卷，通过对梅鲁县具有代表性的多阶段样本288名农民进行面对面访谈。采用二元logit模型分析农民意识的决定因素。略少于一半的受访者表示，他们知道农业推广权力下放。显著提高农民认知度的因素有:参加田间日、土地保有权保障、收入和教育。
