Abstract:
The project Strengthening Capacity in Agricultural Research and Development in Africa (SCARDA) aimed to enhance the performance of selected research and educational organizations in ten countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Particular emphasis was placed on strengthening linkages between these organizations and their key research and development partners to help foster agricultural innovation. One of the major components of the project was strengthening the quality of science in the target organizations and support for postgraduate studentships in priority topics was the key activity in this. A total of 78 students received training in topics as diverse as plant breeding, rangeland management and agricultural information and communication management. This issue of the RUFORUM newsletter focuses on SCARDA.
