119 facts shown; 4 unconfirmed links; 0 support mechanisms (not programs); 409 documents cite this program.
The one-paragraph answer: years, implementer, funder and purpose, each from document metadata.
Mechanization of rice production in the tropics has many problems which still remain unsolved. Attempts to transfer the highly advanced western and Japanese mechanization technologies have not produced effective results for the small farm holdings in the tropical regions. The overwhelming need today is to develop an intermediate mechanization technology to suit the prevailing set of agricultural, socioeconomic and industrial conditions of the tropical regions.

Districts, regions and facilities the program's own documents name, with what the document says it did there. Source: sentences in the program's documents
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district; squares are facilities.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: global. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.95.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
