The author has reviewed the concept of outreach prog
rammes in the MATIS in Tanzania and its uses in other
countries of the world, it is clear that outreach has been
used under different terms, methods and approaches, it is,
however, based on a problem-solving approach, outreach has
been discussed as a teaching tool which provides village
practical training and rural experience to the MATI tutors
and students, it also improves the relationship between the
. training institutes and the surrounding community. The students
who participate in the outreach programmes improve their
chances.of being successful in their career as swana Shambas.
The next chapter will look at how the outreach programme
involves MATI tutors, MATI students, extension staff,
researchers, and farmers in training extension workers and
solving village problems, in this discussion MATI-Ukiriguru
will be used as a ’case study.'
