According to actor linkage m<strong>at</strong>rix; strong, medium and weak linkages were identified. Fromthe above Table, ‘Nil’ indic<strong>at</strong>es there is no institutional linkage between actors. Non shadedboxes indic<strong>at</strong>e th<strong>at</strong> there is weak linkage between those actors. The dark shaded parts aredesign<strong>at</strong>ed for medium linkage types and all the remaining m<strong>at</strong>rix boxes indic<strong>at</strong>e th<strong>at</strong> stronglinkages represented by light-dark shading p<strong>at</strong>terns.Table 11 indic<strong>at</strong>es the type <strong>of</strong> functions performed by different actors. The extent and rel<strong>at</strong>ivestrength <strong>of</strong> key actors in rel<strong>at</strong>ion to rural communities’ development notified th<strong>at</strong> the majoractivities have been accomplished by them. Linkage m<strong>at</strong>rix reveals various activities such as<strong>training</strong>, m<strong>at</strong>erial provision, module prepar<strong>at</strong>ion and distribution, funding, input and creditsupply, technical advice, communic<strong>at</strong>ion, inform<strong>at</strong>ion sharing, management, supervision,apprenticeship programs etc.4.4. Knowledge and Inform<strong>at</strong>ion SharingLinkage mechanisms for communic<strong>at</strong>ion enable to gener<strong>at</strong>e transfer, share, and useknowledge and inform<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> available when it is required. There are different ways <strong>of</strong>knowledge and inform<strong>at</strong>ion sharing techniques. The focus <strong>of</strong> this part is to assess knowledgeand inform<strong>at</strong>ion sharing services. According to focused group discussions <strong>of</strong> <strong>farmers</strong> and theirinterview responses, the figure represents different actors th<strong>at</strong> enable <strong>farmers</strong> to shareknowledge and inform<strong>at</strong>ion (Figure 7).Knowledge can be transferred and shared through delivery <strong>of</strong> various sources such as <strong>training</strong>,field days, demonstr<strong>at</strong>ions, experience sharing, market, mass media, formal and informalmeetings and discussions. Actors can be c<strong>at</strong>egorized into four, based on the frequency <strong>of</strong>contact and sources <strong>of</strong> inform<strong>at</strong>ion. In Figure 7, <strong>farmers</strong> are the center <strong>of</strong> knowledge flowdiagram. Inform<strong>at</strong>ion and knowledge sharing were involved in <strong>training</strong>s and rel<strong>at</strong>ed activities.Inform<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> accessed by <strong>farmers</strong> was from <strong>training</strong>s, advice, motiv<strong>at</strong>ion, technicalsupport, experience share, market prices, inputs and consultancy services.61
