Project to support an International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) project to promote farming systems research (FSR) methodology among national agricultural research and extension institutions and AID-supported agricultural programs in ten countries of Eastern and Southern Africa. The project will be managed by a UNDP-funded regional CIMMYT economist and will focus on TA, training, and networking, In-country training in on-farm research and FSR program management will be provided for 80 African agricultural research and extension staff by trainers from CIMMYT, USAID, and in some cases international agricultural research centers. In groups of 20 at 4 sites (selected in cooperation with the national program and having significant acreage in an important food crop), trainees will participate in a series of sessions to conduct on-farm surveys and trials. Possible training locations are Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland. To allow national program researchers to actively participate in fieldwork by experienced practitioners of adaptive on-farm research, the project will provide 32 person-months of TA to the national research and extension systems
