Poster presentation
Knowledge and timely access to information are significant preconditions for the life quality of rural population. Rural extension centres have an important role in the rural and agricultural development, as they facilitate profitability and competitiveness of the farms reducing rural population's dependence on support payments in scope of the national support policy.
In the present situation, when the effectiveness of the national budget subsidies’ use is especially activated, it is important to search for possibilities how to make reasonable use of rural advisory centres’ resources.
The poster describes methodology for the evaluation of rural extension services and presents authors’ adopted composite model for the assurance of customer guided services’ quality.
