Dorothy : So my real question is .... are evaluations making a difference or not? If not, how does that happen to greater effect?
Answer: If the evaluations are focus on “why? Factor” and “how actor”? on youth instead of the Agriculture only, the following needs to emphasis on findings and recommendation;
1. Addressing on what? less negatives more positives
Gaps and lesson learned – focus on the opportunities within and human development and technology
Opportunities- Focus on next generation as well as transformation from traditional farming to entrepreneurs - Horizontal analysis
2. in the process of Evaluation can focus to attract youth to get involve in the process of “evaluation” where participatory and visibly youth can see the evidence that can be produce for a behavior changes on occupations on agriculture among youth. (Messengers)
3. Recommendations: achievable and magnetisms
Clearly clarify the sustainability of the agriculture short term and long term
from traditional industry to technical transformation in agriculture
Answers to the risk and assumptions in youth prespectives
Society in terms of accepting they are farmers. (Social Acceptance) as a profession
