BookletGuidelines for improved agricultural research for development in Egypt 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Agricultural research for development (AR4D), aims to improve the livelihoods of poor-resources and small-scale producers through adaptive applied, is critical for enabling poor-resource communities to improve their livelihoods. The National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) have a deep understanding of the challenges both at farm and system levels. However, NARS need the adequate technical and financial support to increase their efficiency to sustainably enhance the impacts of AR4D and achieve national food and nutrition security. Technical support, in the form of national guidelines, can provide NARS with essential tools to streamline their efforts on AR4D, increase their efficiency, and achieve better outcomes and impacts. Based on the lessons drawn from the assessment study on AR4D, including literature review analysis and participatory discussions with various NARS actors and stakeholders in Egypt, the following guidelines are proposed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of researchers and AR4D project managers. The guidelines also include recommendations and critical elements for successful implementation of AR4D that could be considered by NARS organizations and other stakeholders to help improve the performance of the NARS in Egypt. These guidelines could also be useful to enhance collaboration among the main research organizations of the NARS and improve the institutional linkages between different actors that ensures sustainable impact of AR4D in the country. -
Book (stand-alone)Comprehensive assessment of national agricultural research and extension systems with a special focus on agricultural research for development in Egypt
Analysis and guidelines - Egypt case study
2022Also available in:
No results found.This case study was conducted to provide a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to Egypt’s agricultural research and organizational development to draw lessons and develop supporting guidelines. This study aimed to enhance efforts exerted by Egypt’s NARS in the field of developmental research by formulating an integrated and coherent approach for research and dissemination of proven technologies and practices. Such approaches are expected to address key bottlenecks and provide the needed direction and means for sustainable improved implementation of AR4D. This can ultimately lead to enhancing and empowering the capacity of Egypt’s NARS to better inform and influence policies and facilitate institutional changes required in the agricultural sector. As part of the efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support and strengthen NARS’ research impact and their links to extension service systems, the present assessment was carried out to establish a deeper insight into challenges and opportunities that are facing NARS in Egypt.
