<br/><br/> Decentralisation policy in agricultural extension was not effectively implemented in Indonesia at the local level.  Effectiveness in programme planning, decision-making, resources utilisation, and provision of benefits were not executed as expected by the policy objectives.  As beneficiaries of the services, farmers received little from the extension services.  There was a tendency that lower-level officers have lower understanding and knowledge pertaining to the current implementation of the policy.  Effectiveness of policy implementation was positively and significantly correlated to the bureaucratic support factors, which comprised of support from district government bureaucracy, supervision as well as guidance from higher-level agricultgural agencies. - Reproduced.
