The wider objectives of the projec are: To increase bean producton of resource-poor
famers in traditional Phaseols bean mixture famiig systems in East Africa throuah
the devlopment of improved straregies for management of diseases while maintang
varietal diversity. The immediate objectives are: to generate basic knowledge of
iu*erent levels of disease reaction to iJrant pathogens at the component and
sub-rcone  level in Phaseoius bean mixture in traditonal production systems in
East Africa: To develop improved methodology for characterisation of pathogens under
gashouse conditions where thts is lacking.

The major objective of the project would be to revitalze and expand the cuivation
of no_-cocoa tree crops and hortcultral crops, which can be efficiently and
competitively cultivated in Ghana for e-port and import susbstitution. wvfnin the
hramewoek of an agricultural diversification strategy ained at diluting the
importance of cocoa in the icral sector, and tterefore, the econmny. The
project would exp-nd the area of high-yielding private small-scale oil palm farms and
rcrease the number of improved technology artisanal small-scale privately owned
miils, in coffee the goai wouLdd be to rehabilitate existing private srnaliOhkdngs
and replace, to only a limited extent small private coffee farms destroyed &dnng
the bush fires of 1983 in order to sustain exports at pre-1980 levels through higher
yields which vfould provide a buffer against future low export prces. High-yielding
small-scale outgrower farming of rubber would be introduced to initiate a longer term
resporse in inproved prmvate sniagiolder cutivabn largely aimed at exPort. In
horticulture the project targets at icreased production and exports by imprownng
tectnical support arnd marketing and export faciliies for pineapples, in partcular
but generically relevant to most horbcultura! exports.Specfic cormponent are: (a)

the rest of the year. Considering the rapid increase in population and the lack of
foreign exchange to inport food. rethods of preservation must be developed which will
er.courage increased production of plantain and reduce kisses. This project will
determine the efficacy of traditional preservation methods used in the country:
develop improved methods of solving the rapenirg process: and develop techniques for

Wlen fully operational. the network wil expand to include six countries with the
addition of Cote d'tvoire, rigeia Sierra Leone and Togo. Ongoing research
activites in HULWA are confined to Carneroon and Ghana In Cameroon the project is
focussing its research to develop technoloies to address dechning sor ferfr1dy
and fodder shortage m the hgrnid owlands of Cameroon. The mapr agroforestry
technologies under wnvestigoln sin  1987 are: (a) hedgerow intercropping: (bt
alley farming; and (c) simple improved fallow. In support of these managment tnals
MPT screening and evaluation trials and on-farmn research are uder"ay. In Ghana the

Statement of objectivestabstract
The network would complement research by ILCA on small runilants in West Af-nca. It
would aim to refine some of the basic findings already obtained from on-going
research by carrying out both on-station and on-fe-M research and trials to improve
feeding systems for small rumniants through improved forage and browse production.
The overal ain of the network is to develop more benefcial crop-livestock
interactions (through the integrakon of food crop. browse legume and small ruminant
production). as wef as the use of sheep marnue for the maintenance of soil fertility
in small farmers production systems. The network would develop a sustainable
production system which can contibute to the improvemnent of smal ruminant
production in the humid and sub-humid zones of West Africa and thrwough the manure
studies it would demonstrate and improve the role of small ruminants in increasrig
crop prducton. The network would prorotelenhance information exchange. trainng
and research and development of small ruminant technologies for smaliolders and
agro-pastorallsts in collaboration with NARS The tehnologies developed and
validated on farmners fieids would be ircorporated in future IFAD investnent projects
in the regon. Training cowurses would be conducted annually in areas idertiried by
the Annual General Meeting of NARS scientists.

SPAAR Information Systern
Development of African oGuntres has been hampered by the inadequate contribution of
the rural social sciences to rural development. Several international agencies have
tried to improve this situation but have made only modest accomplishments. The
Par-African Networks for Rural Social Science Research is a four year program set up
to stimulate sub-Saharan Africans to conduct research on rural development issues.
The objectives of the networks are to: (1) encourage African scholars to conduct

Statement of objectives/abstract
The CGIAR Task Force on Sub-Saharan Africa has undertaken an initiative to deal with
the maize and cassava research needs of coastal West and Central Africa The
principal objective of the initiative was to draw a plan of action to strengthen, in
a cost-effecve way. the infrastructure and research capacity of the national
agrcultural research systems (NARS) in West ard Cergal Africa in order to increase
heir research ipact on maize and cassava producion (the predonant crops in the
region) and to facitate coitabordon bt between the NARS, and between IARCs and
the NARS. The initiative was implemt  in three phases: (1) desk study o at
available doctxrentabon on the NARS; (2) visits to particiating countries and to
IfTA; and (3) regional consations.

practice is not common. The small runminant scheme would investigate the different
production systems wviich would include a sizeable smal ruminant component and would
improve stock management and feediwg methods to reducr t.ie risk of diseases in the
six countries The research activities would be backed up by intensive training
schemes The traming component would improve the nuiiers and standard of African

To learn about this. the disease and its etiology has to be analysed mainly by local
scientists. The objective of the project is to give tools to these scientists for
their work (i.e. devebop a simple GR diagnostic assay) and look at the genornic level
in order to determine the nature of resistance in groundiut to the virus. It is
hoped to stiulate a breeding program for resislant peanuts by developing an assay
which detects a gene correlated -vith GR symnptoms.

The main objective is to develop pinciples and guidelcies for strengthening the
capacity of sub-Saharan Africa universities to contrbute more etiectively to
development-responsve research. This will be done by analyzng current situations
ard opportunities, and by identitying approaches and mecharisms that wouid help
strengthen universities' contributions to national agricutural research. The
rationale is that corsiderable resources are available or can be mooilized for
univiersity research in sub-Saharan Africa, and that rt is imperatie that these
esources be ublized as effecively as possibie as strategic contbLtons to
sol    problems of agrcultual develpmenL This invohles the need to desW
models fornmore effective cooperabon between natio.nal research istitutions and

Statement of objectives/abstract
The aim of he project is to study the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) produts
on bcusts and grasshoppers as a possible basis for prachcal control of these pests
by neem applications. Laboratory expernments in 1989 showed a high sensitivly of
nymphs of Schistocerza gregaria and Locusta migraoria migratorioles against neem
oil Apart from a high mortafity duming moults (IGR effect) the treated nymphs lost
the tarsi of their legs during moults and were unable to clirb. Nuwerous individuals
became green or brown Ike solitan locusts, others showed an iermnedate
colouration. Compared 'o the very active grega-icus control specmens the treated
nymphs we.re rather sggish. Adults deriving from treated rTmnphs showed malforme-d
wings and were unable to tty. The phenomena descibed above wiil be studied in
detad in the laboratory and fie!d durng coming years.

Statement of objectiveslabstract
Among recent poricies embarked upon by the government of Nigerna in favour of
agriculture and non-oil sectors are the estabbshment of a market -determined regirne
of exchange rates, trade l;beration. and the abolition of agricultural commodity
coards, which had hitherto exercised rmonopoly control over produce markefing and
experts. Nigeria's liberalization policy recognizes the importance of pricing
policies as a basis for agniculural development and increased prodction. However.
the extent to which the new policy will adequately serve the needs of the srnall-scale
arfmer and help achieve national objectives (e.g. increased food sufficiicy and
commodity exports) with respect to the agricultiral sector, remains stil lrgely
unclear. Consequently. the impact of the liberalization policy on the donestc
marketing instituions, and their influence on prodicer prices and incentves deserve
careful study. This project wil examine the impact of fiberalization policy on the
agicultural nmaketing and pncing system. The research wldl inwolve a detailed
study of marketing and pricing arrangems of three main agricultural commrrodities
(i.e. cocoa, tobacco and palm oil).

Statement of objectives/abstract:
INTSOY is a multipurpose commodity network. INTSOY ornce served as a cearinghouse
for a workWida system for soybean germplasn. The intenational nursery part of
INTSOY is called ISVEX (International Soybean Variety Experiment) and was started at
the inception of INTSOY in 1973. It was terminated in 1985 with 132 countries having
participated in ISVEX. By 1986. INTSOY had completely shfted the focus of its work
to finding new ways to process and use soybeans as hwnan and livestock food. INTSOY
is now concentrating on a three-phase soybean utilization effort for the period
1965-1991 as follows: Phase 1: Intensifid research to develop new soy products and
processes; Phase II: Development of simple 'how to' manuals and equipnment lists fc
ess deveoped countries and entmpreneurs interested in production of soy foods on a
small or large commsrcial scale; Phase Ill: On-site technic3l assistance in soybean
utilzation for govemments and private firms in less devebcped countries. The
primary goal is to improve human nutrition through increased use of whole soybeans.

nutrient flows in various regimes in time. Special attention is paid to te increase
of th efficient use of nitrogen ertilizers, bioogical nitrogen fixation by
microganisms in symbiosis wit lekguninosa and the role of organic material in
ddlerent farming systems.The research is aimed at a better urderstd    of the low

Constraints for creased prodcbon are ao. disadvantageous pnce poDcy, poor
infaste and insumient comnunication faclies. Transport of food btween
surplus and defciency regions is poor. Women play an inpor  role in food

Statement of bectres/abstract:
In many areas in Africa the sustainabilty of traditional agnwiltural systemns is
aleded. The fa;;ow-period used wi these systems ensured maintenance of soil
fertily. Inraeased utilization of aabe land has sotened or disappeared
fallWbexs. To maintain soil ferbty under these more intensive conditions
requires stWwlementmng of soi-nutrients. either from artificial ferlizer or
organic fedtizer. Plant residues provide nutrients. The soil structure, specified
by the amount of organic components, is also imnportant for te water econony and the
retentior, capacdy for nutritional components. The more intensive use of the soil is
often combined with deforestation. In humid areas, this increases the exposure of
soils to erosion and induces leaching of fertble top layers with a relative high
organic component. This forms a mayor threat for the sustainabhty of the
agriculture. llTA will provide the facilities and scientfic personne!. The
Institute for Soil Fertility (16) provides a researher to be based in Nigena. IS
is responsible for scientific backstcpping and financial managernent.The objectives of
the project are the following: (1) increase sustainability of production systems in
West and Central Africa by optizming management of soils and the use of nutntional
components: (2) obtain knowbdge on the processes of break-down of plant residues in

The objecfies of fe Network are to: (a) povde technical support to national
nmal traction research pojcts for parning expernts, poviding appropniate
mstrurtaon, setting up laboratories and computers, training personnel and
heiping prepare reports; (b) pnonot interst in the adopbon and potential of animal
tracion; and (c) seek unding f animal tacton researchInplemented work and
results: Three research projects have been activated with support from in-trust
hfuds provided by fe European Conmission. In Ethopia, scientsts at the Institute
of Aqrrultural Research (IAR) are conducting researh to study the ublization of
draught oxen for different larn activties in relation to feeding pattern, work
caendar and climate. In Senegal, scientists at fe Institut senegalais de
recherches agricoles (ISRA) are cornducting research to study the incidence of disease
among working and non-working NDama oxen; quantifying the effects of trypanosomiasis
and gastro-intestnal worm burden (Strongyloides sp) on work output of draught oxen;
and monetoong the health, work output. lactational and reproducie performance of
local draught cows on farms. In Togo, research at the ProJet pour la pmmotion de la
traction animale (PROPTA) is intended to: provide qualitative and quantitative
nfomation on the agricultural and industrial byproducts available for feeding
draught animals in the region; iunprove mehods of storng agicultual byproducts;
define adequate diets for draught oxen based on locally availabl byprducts.A cheap
a robust electronic instrument for measuring the major parameters conneced with work
output of draught animals has been designed. The instrument works in four modes and
