PROBLEMS THAT IMPEDE THE COORDINATION PROCESS BETWEEN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION AND THE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION ORGANIZATION AND WAYS OF SOLVES IT

The research aimed to identify the problems and determinants that hinder the achievement of the coordination process between the agricultural research and extension organizations through the following axes (problems related to the coordination strategy, problems related to organization, problems related to mechanisms and procedures for coordination work, problems related to the ability and skills of researchers and extension workers, problems related to the financial and material allocations). Was selected sample of (122) researchers and agricultural extension (50%) of the research community of (244) researchers and agricultural extension workers from the two organizations. A questionnaire was prepared for collecting study data, the axis included five areas representing Problems and limitations that impede the coordination process between the agricultural research and extension organizations (44) paragraphs. Those paragraphs were placed under a three-tiered scale to show the opinions of the respondents working in the two organizations about the extent of the problems and obstacles identified for the coordination process between the two organizations. and After the process of collecting and unloading data, it was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS The study concluded that some significant problems and limitations impede the process of coordination, integration. And that the strategy of work in the two organizations towards coordination is interspersed with many problems and determinants, these determinants centered on the absence of regulations, legislation, and laws that regulate the coordination process between the two organizations and the scarcity and weakness of communication channels between both researchers and agricultural extension agents and The two organizations are related to the organization, represented by the weak horizontal and vertical relations between the agricultural research and extension organizations.
