Summarizes mid-term evaluation (XD-AAZ-777-A) of a project to help the International Potato Center (CIP) expand a potato improvement research network (known as PRAPAC) encompassing Rwanda, Burundi, and Zaire. In 1987, Uganda also joined the network. The evaluation covers the period 2/86-5/89. Some progress has been made towards the project purpose, as the small number of potato scientists in the network are being utilized more efficiently. Research progress is evident in such areas as: development and dissemination of improved varieties resistant to major diseases (late blight and bacterial wilt); rapid seed multiplication techniques; production of clean seed; diffused light stores for seed both on-station and on-farm; and dormancy breaking. PRAPAC is also effectively providing short-term training to member countries' scientists. It is difficult, however, to separate the impact of the PRAPAC from the impact of CIP and/or other support for national potato research programs. PRAPAC needs to strengthen interaction between research and extension, which is weak in all member countries, and linkages with agencies responsible for seed multiplication and distribution. PRAPAC also nee

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: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
