| dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia the farmer training establishes and led by its national manuals to provide a solution for the problem of human capital and low level of agricultural production through provision training by showing demonstrations’. The trainings have been executed in farmer training centers. Due to that farmers training centers are constructed in every kebele. This paper examines status of Farmers training centers and factors affecting farmers’ willingness to participate in farmer training center in Dangila district. The study design was cross-sectional and data was collected from a sample of 203 farmers out of 3828 households, 9 Development Agents and 8 the district extension department office workers. The researchers employed a binary logistic regression model, descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, and percentages to analyze the data. The data was analyzed using Stata Version 14 software. The finding shows that the status of farmer training center was poor because it’s highly influenced by budget, infrastructure and facility, lack of sufficient demonstration cite, lack of committed organized body who manage the institution, lack of innovation and lack of training for the Developments. Willingness to participation in Farmers training centers was found to be influenced by age, gender, education, distance to the Farmer Training Center, farmers experience, incentive/motivation to farmers and method of training. The findings revealed that age, farmer experience and distance to the extension office have negative influence on willingness of farmers to participate in Farmer Training. Education, method of training, gender and incentive/motivation given to farmers have positive and significant on willingness of farmers to participate in Farmers training centers. Therefore, Farmers training centers should equipped by the required facilities, and Development Agents should develop their abilities before provision of training for farmers. The concerned body starting from Development Agents up to the federal level should prepare the regular monitoring and evaluation program to identify the gapes of training.
