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.

Purpose: Not available yet: the program's stated purpose has not been read from its documents.

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.

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
