Abstract

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.'
