KENYA FORESTRY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Technology Dissemination and Service
Programme

  KEFRI continuously generates technologies and information for
  sustainable development of farm forestry, natural forests, drylands
  forestry and industrial forest plantations forestry. For these
  technologies and information to be useful, KEFRI has developed a
  strategy for disseminating information to end-users.

  This strategy is implemented through Technology Dissemination and
  Service Programme (TDSP). TDSP is charged with; documenting
  research findings and providing information on proven technologies,
  improving adoption of technologies and creating and maintaining
  linkages between research, extension, farmers and other stakeholders.
