At present over 4000 poects are recorded in SIS which are now avaiabbe on various CD-ROM's (AGRISEARCH-S#fver Ptatter and DAt-INDIXADRC) The SIS operates as a system in which local pnts mi donor countries or -agces are responsible for edecton of donor- pect data Focal ponts are ATSAF (IGemany), NRI (United Kingdom). IDC iCanada and for Japanese data), USAID United Slates of Amerca). CIRAD (France) and IAC (the Netierlands) O1her focal points are located on ad-agencies such as the World Bank. The SPAAR Secretanat at the World Bank a responsible for updatmg and ddlributrg the database to SIS local pocts. users in national research :ystems and other relevanl organizations The software is based on CDS-ISIS in order to facitate tree derton The classifcatin of proects is done on the bass of AGlRIS-CARIS keywords and in adrktion keywords are alotted from FAO's AGROVOC-thesaurus Free cdassrficaton temrs are developed by IAC to agryegate profects under mapr thernes by combining AGRISJCARIS categones.

The obctiwve of Phase I 50 SPAAR Informatont System (1981-84) was to establish, praccWal liaison between e IDRC Oilseeds projects in India, Pakistan, East Africa, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Sri Lanka, and assist Ue Eh n oIseeds projects. Dwing this first phase, the netwok developed and started up th Ethiopian Highland Oilrops Projec (nigW seed, linseed, rapeseed, wdh related Brassica and suwe). The network also formulated and stared up fe Ethopian Lowland Oicrps Projed (groundnuts, sesame, safflower and castor) and parbcipated in cDNecting Ethiopian oiseed germplasm. An oilorops Ibrary was developed and computer references on odcps disserninaled regularly. The general obecives of Phase 11(1984-87) remained as for Phase 1, but emphasis was paced on establin, servcing and operating the network. In this second phase the network continued work started in the lirsl phase, and among other things, started up genmphsm colldions in Somalia. The objectves ol tle current Phase 111 (1 987-89) are to: (1) continue support so as to icrease the effectiveness of national oilcrons programmes in fe region; (2) establish fte most effective mechanism for exchanging oicrop germnplasm within the network; (3) continue the flow of information to natbonal oilseed programmes; (4) provide midde-level technica training on oiseeds; (5) evaluate new, more effective, forms of networks. The objective of Phase IV is to establish an International Oilcrops Research Unit whose initial efforts wil be to: (a) screen germplasm and generate rnore genetic variability for national projects; (b) incorporate inportant resistances into good national materials; (c) distnbute germplasmn to nurseries for testing, and to non-govemmental organizations (NGOs) where appropnate; (d) develop male-steriles and breeding populations, and, in due course, assess the practicability of hytrids; (e) develop and use tissue-culture technology as needed to facilitate the above; (f) study the possibilty of resistance breeding against Orobanche and Cuscuta weed (dodder); (g) continue training as one of the man activites once the und is well established.

IMMUNOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON TICKS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN TICK CONTROL. Implementing agency Commission of the European Communities. Country/countnes: Zambia: Statement of cbjectives/abstract: Two of the major tick ectoparasites of domestic livestock in Africa are Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma vanegatum which transmit East Coast Fever and Heartwater respectively among cattele in Afnca. Both are present Zambia and affect productivity of livestock in the traditional sector and hamper the economic development of rural communities. A visit by Professor Varma to Zambia early in 1986 under the auspices of Ihe Overseas Developrnrenl Administration (ODA) of the United Kingdom highlighted the constraints to chemical co.itrol of ticks. the relevance of vaccines in control strategies and the suitability of that country as an appropriate 86 SPAAR Information System venue for field investigatis including tnals of candidate vaocines. The rr.a;o: and uftinate objectives are development of a tick vaccine for protecdion of domestic livestock in Africa and the establishment of a nort-south link for training of African personnel and implkrrentation o fied programmes.

Country/countries: Alnca; Angola: Botswana; Lesotho; Malawi: Mozambique; Namibia; Swaziland: United Republic of Tanzania; Zambia; Zimbabwe; Statement of objectives/abstract: The obetive of the programme is to increase the stock of human capital in scientifc fields in order to shift to a science based agriculture. SADC realised in 1986 that one of the reasons for lack of increased productions in the agricultural fields was tbe lack of a critical mass of scientific and technological manpower. It directed SACCAR to develop a long term blue print to train more scientists in the region. This blue print has been produced and approved. It involves staff development, scholarships support, research networking, university facility support, curricular development, the start of new training prograrnmes and the establishment of a small secretariate to run the programrnme. The proposed programme is a 20-year progr.--e broken into two 10-year parts: (a) Part : 1991-2000 would aim at e.tablishino the programme, a B.Sc Agnrcufture programme in every SADC country and a good numtber of specialised B.Sc. and M.Sc programmes in the region. The activities of Part I would be implemented in three phases: Phase l: 1991-1992, Phase Il: 1993-1996 and Phase II: 1997-2000; (b) Part Il: 2001-2010 will be planned in the f.nal phase of Part I and will be the take-off stage in establishing SADC Faculties of agncutture into fully Kedged scientific, teaching and research institutions.

Since then, Gonomneta silkmolths have been discovered in Zimbabwe and Malawi. It is believed that Gonometa exisit in other SADC member states. In the meantime the Botswana Govemment had encouraged the exploitation of this resource through a Botswana registered public company BGI Ltd. and is subsidiary the Shashe Silk (Pty) Ltd. Their efforts have shown that Gonometa silk production can be comnmercially viable. An investment of more than 2 000 000 USD has already been made and high quality fabncs afe being produced. About 160 tonnes of cocoons are collected per season The aim of the proposed project is to establish a research unit in close proxmity to a silk rnanufactunng unit near Francistown, Botswana. The initial objectives are to: (a) develop and improve seeding techniques in order to be able to establish new populations of the Gonometa silkmolh; (b) assess the distnbution and abundance of Gonometa nufobrunnea and its loodplant Colophospermum mopane in the SADC region; (c) elucidate the mechanism of diapause induction and termination, in order to render the species amenable to human manipulation. 135 SPAAR Informabon System Record number (MFN): 03773 Official project tite: ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT OF NATION-WIDE SEED MULTIPLICATION PROGRAMMES: THE CASE OF SWAZILAND.

Country/countnes: United Republic of Tanzania; Statemnt of objectives;abstract: A number ol donors have assisted or are still supporting the Govemment of Tanzania in the feld of agricultural research. However, this support has been largely uncoordnated due to a Lack of clear Goveimenl research priorities ar.d the absence ol an efficient research organization. Consequently. th Government of Tanzania a number of SPAAR donors agreed on the need for developing a policy framework--setting out research aims, priorities and organizational frameworks conducive to the development of a clear national agricultural research system. It is the aim of the National Agricuttural and Liveslock Research Masterplan (NALRM) project to provide such an instrument. The objective of the NALRM is to determine the role of research in providing long-termn agricultural technology requirements for the developrnent of the agricultural sub-sector over the coming ten to lifteen years. NALRM would provide policy guidelines and criteria for he bltermnination of research priorities and programs that are compatible with available resources and research capacity. NALRM would place emphasis on: (a) resusctaling the capability for adaptation and utilization of available technologies: (b) the development of relevant. cost-effective. improved technologies: (c) the strengfening of a rationalized instiutional framework for the a4eneration of relevant technologies; and (d) the 225 SPAAR Infmation System aeon of a sustaiable research systm to serve the ramiiing needs of Ihe aghculal setor. The Mnstry of Agcul. L ock Devepm n and Cooperates (MALDC) wdl use the NALRM as a basic docnwt in its cDntact with Government deparbmets as well as toe dnor community. NALRM will provide ciar indications of human, matenal and f1acal noeds or a phased and prioritzed progrin, and also help n the cooribat,on and targeting of outside assistanre to agricultual research.The research progran poities ide d are: (1) Category one: coftee, cotton, tea and nce, aniral healh and liestock dwseases, meat and milk prducto. soil and water mnagemt agrofostry, agricultural economics, and lanring systems research and linkages to research and (2) Category two: maize, roots and tubers (cassava, sweet and round potatoes), Phaseolus beans, grain legumes, vegetables and oilseeds.

Country/countries: United Repubbic of Tanzana; Statement of objectives/abstract: An number of existing works dealing wih choice of technology in less industnalized countres (LICs), with speaal emphasis on forestry and forest industry projects were reviewed to provide some important theoretical concepts on the role of technoloy in econornic development in LICs. Different methods lor analyzing socio-economnic consequences of technological choioe at the projct level in LiCs were discussed, and a muli-citera sirmulation model was proposed. This model was used in an actual proiect in Tanzania to evaluate the apopriateness of the technological choice in the project, and to increase the empirical evience on the consequences ol using altematnve technogies in LICs in general and in the forest sector in particular. Three operations in the project were analyzed: skiding of logs from softwood (Pinus oatula), thinnings and clearfellings. and sawni&ng of softwood (Pinus patutal). It was found that in all three cases the labour-intensive technologies are highly compatible wittl the more modem, capitalnlensive altemaltves considered, both regarding cost efficiency as well as other important development crrtena like employment, working conditions, distributional effects, integration, independency, ecological effects, and risks.

Achievements: Urban agricuture has many problems. Nonetheless, it is essential given the current economc conditions which aftdct the households. Policy implications are that town planning must integrate urban farming activities. Livestock production is recommended, but must be done in the penurban zone.

The review wll synthesize the experience of ongoing or terminated programs accordcng to the type of program. Programs constdered in the review and impact 3nalysis include labor intensive mrul infrastructure (roads), water works (imgation, water harvesting), agrcultural resource conservation (terracing), reforestation, and comnmunity developmenl (dnnking water supply).in Phase li, an indepth study ol the potential for. and impact of, public works programs for improved household food security is planned in four countnes: Niger, Botswana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. This phase wil involve data collection and analysis at the household level to assess the net-effects of public works programs (including food-for-work) on employment and consumption. The resulting analysis will provide guidance for program priorities in ddiferent settings. given location-specific development and food security goals. The country studies wilt be followed by a comparative analysis that bnngs together broader review findings and leads to policy conclusions and suggestions for strategy formulation.

Implemwnting agency: Overseas Devemnt Administration (NRRD). Start date: 1992-0401. End date: 1995-03-31. Country/counns: Unted Kingdom; Zimnbabwe; Statement oa objctives/abstract: The objectve of the protect is to mnprove food security in the serni-arid tropics by encouraging improvements and the processing of sorghum. (i) Semi-wet Millng It was shown in eartier work tat the semi-wet milling (SWM) of sorghum in Zimbabwe was technically feasible, both lor sorghL and for mixtures of sorghum with wheat. However, the mifling company were concemed with the quantity of extra moisture put through the mill as a resull of the process. The maiin reasons are understood to have related to te additional process supervision necessary, to the Ikely clogging up of machinery, to the potential deterioration of equ;pment, and to increased maintenance needed. These views were held by other managers. If SWM has maeri for sorghum and other grains, these fears need to be acknowledged and comprehens;ve technical assessments made, both by NRI and by equpment manufacturers. NRI should be in a posdKon to be able to make recommendations and to be able to rationalise processing benelns wih any engneenng cost penalties. This should be coupled with an appraisal undertaken by ESSD on the market opportunnies and identification of potential 'clients' for application of this lechnology. (ii) Roller miNing at village level using semi-wet milling The concept has been proposed of a simpliied roller milling process for use in an African village environment to produce better quality flours and meals from red sorghums, free from, or with reduced tannin contents, based on semi-wvet milling techniques. Previous experience on the laboratory Buhler mill has indicated thal i is possible to produce a meal wth a s5gnficantly reduced tannin level with two passes on the mill. A good quality maize meal has also been produced in this way. It is anticipated that this technique can be taken from a laboratory scale and applied at a process level, but me processing and engireeg feasibility needs to be properly evaluated and assessed for practical application, using the simple maize roller mil which Is ubiqudous in Southern Africa. A mill 251 SPAAR lormabton Systen wil be purchased as a first step, and used for expermental sw". Conact in research organization: Dr. D.A.V.

A genetc marker(s) for resistance to acancide(s) wil be identifed in this project. The marker(s) identified wil be used in a dot-blotDNA probe/PCR kit to alow for rapid identfication of resistance to acaricides in a field population of ticks. Studies on the distrbution and extent of resistance in Boophilus spp, Amblyomma spp. and Rhipecephalus spp in Zimbabwe will be caffied out in Zimbabwe using biological methods to identify resislance. In a subsidiary study, genetic markers will be identified for differentialing strains of ticks for epidemiological work; the immunobgical crossreaclMtny of antigens between strains and species ot licks will also be evaluated for establishing the feasibility of a genetic tick vaccne.The aims will be achieved by studying B. microplus colleted in Australia and ticks colleCed in Zimbabwe.

The VRL team of research scientists and technical slaft will be supervised by Dr. U. Ushewokunze-Obatolu. Samples for genetic work and sore immunological work wil be prepared at VRL and wil iniially be sent to Australia for analysis.The research objectives are to: (1) identify genetic markers for resistance in ticks to acaricides. In Phase I of the project we will focus on the resistance mechanism associated with a reduction in sensitivity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to inhibition by organophosphate acaricKles; (2) determine precisely the type and level of resistance to select acarcides, in ticks in Zimbabwe, and to determine the distribution of species and strains (defined according to the type and level of resistance to acancedes) of ticks in Zimbabwe; (3) complete a preliminary sludy on the immunological crossreactivity of icks in Zimbabwe and Australia; (4) develop a sinple system for the identdication of strains and speces of ticks of Easterr and Southem Africa (Zimbabwe) based on the DNA code using restriction fragment polyrnorphism analysis and DNA sequencing; and (5) provide information to the other two ACIAR projects on ticks and tick-bome diseases as required.

Of the world's twenty countnes with the lowest per capita visible oil or fat intake. ten are in the eastem and southem Afnca region. The nutntionally most vulnerable portion of thepopulation in the countnes is in the rural areas. National agences are engaged in some work to improve the performance of the national vegetable oiVproteinsystem (VOPS). and have indicated the desire for networking of research. results, and technical know-how. One significant entry point to improve the national VOPS is with small-scale oilseed processing technology closely linked to oilseedproduction technology, aimed at the rural areas. Appropriate Technology International (ATI), in conjunction with other donors and national agencies has stimulated signficant work in small-scate production, processing. and utilization of oilseeds in Tanzania. Over 700 village-scale oil presses are operating in the country. Several other countries of the eastem and southern Africa region are interested in accessing and adapting Ihis experience. In this project, IDRC will collaborate with ATI in initiation of networking on small-scale processing of cilseeds among agencies in Tanzarea. Zimbabwe. Uganda.

In view of the urgent need to increase agriuural production in many developing oountnes, this information should be regarded as a necessary pre-requiite. ISRIC has been working to realize a world colection of soils since 1966. Recently ISRIC has been requested by soil insttutes in nearly 20 countries (under which the 9 countries in Africa where this record refers to) to supporn Fe establishment of National Soil Referenoe collctions (NASRECs).The objectves of the project are as follows: (1) training of students in soil science at university and college levels; (2) guidance of staff of national inshttioiis for soil survey. soil classification and land evaluation in soil classdication; (3) demonstrating the ditferences in soil characteristics and their limitations and potenbals as an input for plannirng. (4) demonstrating farmers on the importance of soil types and effects on La.nd use; and (5) promotion of awareness among the general public, including town populations, on the local soits as a definns national resource that merns careful conservation and management. The prolect officer at ISRIC will operate in close conect with staff of other soil institutes in the Netherlands, with scientific staff of UN organiations, especially UNEP, and wih officers of the participating insttutions in the deveoping countries.The project activnies can be divided among the following phases: (1) Data-collection phase-The collect n of information is from primary ard secondary sources. The information to be collected is related to the soil, environment and land use. Environmental data normally will embrace site information on climate, landform, geology, vegetation, land-use. hydrology, etc. The collection of information is done in a standardized way according to intemationally accepted guidelines of FAO. Country specific interests and problems should be given due attention: (2) The preparatinn phase--The preparaton (analyses) of soil monolith samples and information is normally executed in te NSI (National Soil Instiute) or insttution which houses the collection. The conservation and preparation ol soils in the formn of monoliths is part of the project. Routine chemical and physical analyses will be executed by the soil Laboratory of the country. Special analses such as mineralogy and micrornorphology, depending on the type of soil and interest of the participating instiutes, will be carned out by ISRIC, and (3) Dissemination of information--The display of the soils in the form of monoldhs and a selected part of the information is realized in an easy accessible exhibiion hall in association with a soil institute, an univerty department, or a natural history museum. Handling of the collected information involves storing and retneval; both aspects being of equal importance for the future users. Minimum requirements for the users of the colected information is the availability of: (i) a complete set of soil and sne descriptions and analytical data. (ii) a simplified set of soil data, and (iii) data sets on the location, classificadon, landforn and land-use connected to the displayed monoliths, in an illustrative way.

Tanzania and the countries in the region imporn lge quanities of insecticides and fungicKdes for the preservation of wood products. However, these preservatives are extremety expensive and usually very toxic. For this reason, in phase one of this projec the Tanzania Industrial Research and Devebopment Organization opted to look at the possibidity of utilizing the locally and naturally available insecticides from the pyrethfum flowers, whch are very potent. iound in great abundarce, and nontoxic to man, mammals, and plants.

Start date: 1993-02-05. End date: 1996-02-05. Country/countnes: Mozambique. Statement of objectives/abstract: Resource degradation is frequently caused by socital, politcal, and economic forces, which require identidication and understanding before remedies may be proposed. However, the utilization of a particular resource is not isolatud but has repercussions on other resources, and therefore an integrated approach is necessary. One problem in attempting analyses of entire resource management systems is that boundanes are often Ill-def ined. This projeci wilt be carried out in an island setting (Inhaca Island, Mozambique) where systems inputs and outputs can be readily identified. The study site will also offer the lull spectrum of resource access types, from pnvate to open access. This will allow for the development of a model approach to integrated resource management, which can be modified and used elsewhere Resource-use policies, if they exist, are often based on faulty assumptions of impelect information, particularty the value of the resource to local communites. Such policies may encourage or disregard over exploitation, leading lo reduction in species drversity, loss of germplasm. and adverse effects on local and regional environments and societies This protect will involve continued use of PRA (participatory rural appraisal) methodologies to enable the local commundy to identrfy constraints and opportunties for improved resource rr,anagement.

However, pressures of increasing populabon on a uinie resource continue to cause woodland and envwronnental degradation in many areas. particuLaiy erosion and species loss. Research in Trnbabwe has shown thaot cal commun.bes value their woodland resources, and in mnany areas attempt to manage them sustanably.

It has a population of 60 000 and is charactenzed by large white-owned farms, a powerful diamond and copper mining sector. and nine so-called coloured reserves' i is an underdeveloped region that has experienced intense larnd struggles in the 1980s. These struggles have tended to focus on retaining communal land in the reserves, in the lace of the govemment's land utilization policy. which threatens to leave the majrty of residents landless. Communities have made various claims arguing that they have been historically dispossessed, and that lani is being stolen from them by encoaching farmers and mine companies. New land lgislation. passed by the govemment in 1991, also threatens the future of the reserves. This research wilt provide a coherent picture of the nature ol land claims in Namaqualand and contribute towards the formulation cf land 3_9 SPAAR Information System policy underpinning sustainable land use. The projed has been proposed on the basis of requests frot various communities and is a mechanism for empowerng communties in their land struggles.
