Project, follow-on to Project 6320031, to institutionalize in the Research Division (RD) of the Government of Lesotho's Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) an ongoing farming systems research (FSR) unit to create more productive agricultural enterprise mixes that are acceptable to farmers, sensitive to their management ability, appropriate to available resources, and protective of the land base. The RD will implement the project. To help create the FSR unit, the project will provide M.S. degree training to 16 RD personnel who will be assigned to the FSR unit and short-term training to 10 others who will be assigned to complementary positions elsewhere in the MOA. The new unit will determine research priorities through social and economic benefit/cost analysis. Farming systems incorporating alternative technologies and farm management practices will be developed and tested in three different physical environments. Alternative strategies for farmer education will also be developed and tested. A program for replicating farming systems will be underway by the project's end. Finally, a research and information database and an agricultural research library will be established. Research re

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 design document year; 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
