Global programs / International agricultural research centers (IARCS)
A workshop, a report on which is presented herein, was held in Bellagio, Italy, in 11/81 to discuss the findings of a consultant's report on the serious shortage of social scientists in Africa. After an analysis of the relevance of the social sciences in Africa and of the need to improve their contribution to agricultural and rural devevelopment, the workshop's conclusions are summarized. No long-term action strategy was developed, but decisions were made on key program elements - a planning framework (to cover the entire continent and not only sub-Saharan Africa), identification of target groups (to include all sciences relevant to development), reaching and training the target groups (with an emphasis on management skills), and development of a close interaction between research findings and social science training. It was recommended that the advisory committee which had been appointed to guide the consultant be expanded to include non-African professionals and members of the Agriculturul Development Council (ADC). Unfortunately, no acceptable African country to serve as a base for the expanded committee could be identified. The appended consultant's report constitutes the bulk
