Evaluates performance of Mississippi State Univ on a project to provide technical assistance in seed program/industry planning, implementation and evaluation leading toward a responsible seed production industry. Evaluation was conducted through a review of project documentation and interviews with project and mission staff. Evaluator participated in MSU training courses conducted on seed processing in Colombia, Ecuador and Honduras. Stops at seed cleaning plants in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro, Honduras and one under construction in Panama were included in itinerary. Countries visited are directly involved in seed production programs, applying for loans to start programs, constructing new facilities, or training personnel. Evaluator noted that the lack of knowledge about services available from AID/TAB was apparent in every mission visited. Lack of knowledge on current seed research and the varieties being tested for release and distribution at the various country and univ experimental stations was also evident. Duplicate work was being planned or conducted in similar ecological regions. Review of AID contracts is seen as not giving enough information concerning current seed rese

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