Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 12
Abstract
Fadama III is an extension of Fadama I & II projects which were successfully executed in Taraba State. It was, however, reported by the World Bank that manpower performance was low and there was inadequate adherence to institutional provisions under Fadama II. Hence the need to look into the extent of training received by staff and the Economic Interest Groups (EIGs) in the administration of Fadama III in the state. The specific objective of the study was to determine the extent of training received by Fadama III staff in the state among others. A total of 120 Fadama User Groups, (FUG) officials and 57 Fadama III staff bringing the sample size to 177 were used as respondents for the study. Multistage and simple random sampling techniques were used. Data were collected using questionnaires (for Fadama III staff) and interview schedule (for FUG officials). Histogram, percentage, mean score and standard deviation were used in data analysis and presentation. Findings show that training received by staff in different areas of project implementation was grossly inadequate except for the trainings received by the facilitators where responses in specific areas were above average. FUG officials perceived that the training has improved their abilities to handle their subprojects well; for instance, there was improvement in local development plan initiatives (M=3.55) and local development plan implementation (M=3.48), etc. This study recommends that in order to achieve efficiency, the intensity and regularity of staff training should be increased.
