Farm applied research methods for eastern and southern Africa (FARMESA) (GCP/RAF/334/SWE)
The project operating in five countries of eastern and southern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Zambia; with a regional coordinating unit in Zimbabwe) is mainly concerned with addressing the problems arising from top-down; approaches to small-holder farming by improving the processes through which new technologies are identified,
adapted and applied. It also seeks to increase the effectiveness of agricultural
policy analysis and formulation by directing attention to the farm and community
levels. The primary focus is upon techniques that allow field workers, researchers
and policy analysts to collaborate with farmers in solving their immediate farming
problems. To be of any use to farmers these new approaches must be tested and
applied in a field context while working with them at each stage of the process.
The programme is supported by SIDA, Sweden.
