Abstract

The project worked to strengthen partnerships and build capacity of National Agricultural Research and Extension Systems (NARES) researchers, NGOs, CBOs and farmers groups to carry out research for development, using participatory research approaches and natural resource management, to improve livelihoods of the poor. The report highlights some of the project accomplishments and gives recommendations that form the basis for future work. Barriers and bottlenecks to effective agro-enterprise development need to be dissolved, such as lack of credit schemes for the farmers, which boost growth and help stabilize farmer organizations.
