The role of associations and groups, for the mobilization of rural populations, in order to carry out development plans, has been underestimated, with the exception of a few modest references to co-operatives in some development plans. And agricultural services have a heavy burden of responsibility in all developing countries, since agriculture and stock breeding are of overriding importance in these areas. It is foreseeable that some of their tasks - research and extension in particular may be partially taken over in stages by farmers' associations or by the industrial and commercial enterprises directly concerned.A program for creating new jobs in the sectors mentioned above must, of course, be based on national, economic and social development plans. Its execution should be very carefully planned. Initially, the Government must make a great effort to ensure that the program gets under way, particularly in the training of managerial staff and the establishment of institutions designed to mobilize farmers and stock-breeders. Very rapidly, as soon as the first results have been obtained, farmers and stock-breeders will themselves be able to take over the responsibility for and the financing of development programs a t least partially, but progressively, and with the legal and material support of the State.
