Evaluates project to upgrade the institutional capacity of Zaire's National Institute of Studies and Research in Agriculture (INERA). Evaluation covers the period 7/79-2/81 and is based on document review, a site visit, and interviews with project personnel. Delays in the delivery of equipment and supplies have impeded almost every segment of the project and completely blocked some. Warnings to the contractor to expect these delays were not reckoned with in planning, leading to a premature posting of technicians (only one of whom has an adequate language capacity). The soils fertility analysis and soil characterization laboratories can conduct only two of the 20 tests essential to soil analysis. No soil tests correlations have been completed both because the necessary soil analysis is unavailable and because the test results from lime and phosphate additions are unlikely to be useful as the soil is high in phosphate and maize is a low acid sensitive plant. Soil classification, which requires laboratory testing in addition to field observation, is also stalled. As an alternative, raw data left behind by the Belgians are being used to categorize the soils; results will be correlat

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from evaluation period; 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
