Project to improve the design, implementation, and evaluation of farming systems research and extension (FSR/E) activities. The project will focus on solving immediate FSR/E project and management problems and on strengthening FSR/E institutions and will be implemented jointly by the Bureau for Science and Technology's Offices of Agriculture and of Rural Development and Development Administration. The project will accomplish the following major activities. (1) At the request of and with the collaboration of Missions, technical assistance will be provided to design, implement, and evaluate FSR/E projects and to develop a worldwide roster of FSR/E practitioners. (2) Field recommendations based on technical assistance in specific areas and on applied research will be published and disseminated to Missions, LDC agencies, and FSR/E practitioners. (3) Twelve courses will be conducted on specific FSR/E methodologies for LDC field practitioners, and 12 other courses in FSR/E principles and methods will be conducted for policymakers, administrators, and educators.
