| description |
The problem which this report seeks to
address is the slow rate of technology generation of the
agricultural research system in the Sahel. To overcome this
problem, the report proposes to strengthen the national
agricultural research systems in the region through a
three-pronged effort: (a) institutional reforms of the
national agricultural research systems to evolve an enabling
environment for creativity, innovation and improved
performance; (b) new modes of regional cooperation based on
the principles of comparative advantage and the relative
strengths of national agricultural research systems; and (c)
a series of cross-cutting actions to support the revitalized
national and regional efforts. It is expected that a more
demand-driven national/regional research agenda and more
vibrant linkages between scientists and clients will lead to
faster rates of technology generation, as was demonstrated
by the success of cotton research in the Sahel. |
