Abstract:
The last six months have seen further substantial progress towards project goals. The staff who arrived during the previous reporting period have become established in their positions and able to make important contributions, while the arrival of new specialist staff has further increased the Project's ability to address the needs of the agricultural research system. Work continues with greater coordination with BARC through the regular quarterly meetings; between the various institutions involved in agricultural research, and between the different program areas. Work is proceeding on the draft of the National Agricultural Research Plan, with inputs from the resident Specialists.
