Vertisols represent a very high potential for agricultural production in these regions but are often underexploied IBSRAMU created in 1983 in Bangkok. Thailand, is establishing a soil management network to address this question internationally: Management of Vertisols for Improved Agricultural Production. This proposal concerns the implementation of a regional programme to coordinate and support work on this network in Africa and South West Asia (Middle East- India). Thirteen countries: Burkina Faso. Bolswana. Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia. Ghana, Kenya. Mali. Sudan. Tanzania. Uganda. Zambia and Zimbabwe were invited to discuss their projects on thts matter in a first regional seminar in Nairobi. December 1-6, 1986. The coordination and support activites proposed will concentrate on: (a) promoting agrcultural research on the management of vertisols; (b) exchanging information on validated technologes; (c) strengthening national research institutions; (d) backstopping some projects with equipment and its maintenance and with consultancies. This pro ed1 proposal concerns the coordination and support of the African and South West Asian programme and descnbes the goal and objectives, the rationale, the intended activities, the organization, the request for coordination support, a proposed sequence of events, the proposed project outputs and a budget of 1 590 000 USD for tour years.

They have a wide variety of traditiona and industrial uses, and frequently are an important source of income to semnicomadic peoples and small-scale Warmers in drought-prone areas. Ugandan resources are largely unknown but include several species of potential importance. Usage and marketng of one exudate (gum arabic) showed promnise in the early 1960s as an irportant export earner, source of rural employment. and as an alternative to costly imports. This proiect determines the species composition and exudate resources availaibl in the arid woodlands of the east and northeast, and investigates the polential for multipurpose species introduction on small-holder farms.

Insectcicdal sprays using a variety of chemicals have been used to control tsetse fly poputatons. In addition, bush deanng lo remove the natural habitats has been used. Both methods are prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, the wide scale use of insecticides s environmentally unacoeptable. A simple technology using baited targets containing small quantities of chemicals and attractants wiN be tested in Lambwe Valey to control the tsetse fly population. The same technology wil be used to create a 0.5 km wide barmer to control the rnoveent of tsetse flies.

Country/countnes: Kenya, Statement t obiectivesiabstract: The first phase of the project 'Vegetable OilProtein System (Kenya)' (3-P40027) identdied key constraints to increasing domestic production of oilseeds. The study suggested that the introduction ol small scale oil expelling machinery to rural areas would increase rural utilization of edible oil and the co-product, the protein cake. Such a change would have a positive impact on the production of oilseeds. employment creation in rural industrialization, and individual intake ot oil for human energy. This project will develop a methodology for wider dissemination of a complete technology package, which will include small scale hardware; knowledge on rural utihzation of oil and the protein cake; and experience with small scale equipment in rural enterpnses.

Country/countries: Kenya; Statement of objectives/abstract: Sesame is an important oilcrop grown by large numbers of srnall farrners in marginal production areas of the coastal and Lake Victona regions of Kenya. Diagnostic studies carried out under the IDRC-supported projectl Vegetable OiProtein System (Kenya)' (VOPS) identified local sesame production as a constraint to increased oilcrop production in the country. rhis satellite project will seek to improve sesame production through the production and selction of inproved sesame varieties; and the development of packages of agronomic practices for the various sesame growing areas of the country. This project together with the VOPS Kenya project form part of the widespread oilcrops network whch is supported by IDRC in a number of African and Asian countries.

The fora of Somalia is much richer than that of Sahel in general and contains relic occurrences of many ancient arid eements. Several hundred species in Somalia are not known anywhere else in the world and constitute unique genetic resources, in many cases of potential practical value for and counties in general. Ongoing flora projects in the neighbounng countries Ethiopia and Kenya, and mn Araba, also have highlighted the need for a flora of Somnalia. The project airms at mhe production of the first volume of such a flora wilirin a 3-year period. This volume is planned to cover 700-800 species and be centred around the large and economically important family Leguminosae (some 300 species). The complete flora is planned to consist of four volumes produced wrthin a total period of about ten years.

The indigenous farmers in Ethiopia have preserved ecologically-compatible, disease and drought-resistant varieties and landracs for many centuries. They are experts in their environment and their farming s-ystems are sustainable, and economically, culturally, and ecologically rational. However, these traditional farming systems must increase their prductivt to meet demand for food, fibre, and energy by a turgeoning population. A lack of knowedge about tradtionar farming systems, has resulted in poor or inappropriate transfer of information to farmers, and degradation of the syslems, causing losses in crop biodiversity, productivity, and farm income.

Coffee and tea currently represent 85% of Rwanda's export revenues, and irndustrialization will doubtless have to be based on the pnrmary sector - in particular, on the devetopment of raw materials such as plant extracts. Use was made of such extracts when Rwanda was still a coDony, but growers left the country soon after it achieved independence. and nothing remains of their activities. Forthis reason, the Minister of Industry and Small Business has contacted manufacturers and specialized research centres in France, Great Bntain, and Belgium. The aim of the oint pro*ect is to alow the researchers and government departments concered to begin producing plant extracts, and, more generally. to foster asmal industry based on the devebpment of plant products.

The information to be collected is related to the soil, environment and land use. Environmental data normally wil embrace site infornation on climate, tandorm, geology, vegetation, Land-use, hydrology, etc. The collection of information is done in a standardized way according to internationally accepted guidelines of FAO. Country specific interests and problems should be given due attention; (2) The preparation phase--The preparation (analyses) of soil monolith samples and information is normally executed in he NSI (National Soil Institute) or institution which houses the collection. The conservation and preparation of soils in the forrn of monoliths is pail of the projecl. Routine chemical and physical analyses wil be executed by the soil laboratory of the country. Special analyses such as mineralogy and micromorphology. depending on the type of soil and interest of the participating institutes, will be carried out by ISRIC; and (3) Dissemination of information-The display of the soils in the form of monoliths and a selected part of the inlormation is realized in an easy accessible exhibiion hall in association with a soil institute, an univerity depatment, or a natural history museum. Handing of the collected information involves stonng and retrieval: both aspects being of equal importance for the future users. Minimum requirements for the users of the colected informnation is the availability of: (i) a complete set of sod and site desrnptions and analytical dala, (ii) a simplified set ol soil data, and (iii) data sets on the location, classdicaiton.

Counitry1countries: Kenya; Statement of objec ves/abstract: Wheal is worvdwide one ol the most iportant Ioodirops. Two broad types of wheat can be distingushed: durum-wheat and bread-wheat. Bread-wheat is grown froxn sea level to more than 4000 m altitude, in temperate and subtropical cimates. Many pathogens cause senous diseases, Septoria tntici being one of the most senous pathogens. Most of the seni-dwart high-yielding spring wheat cultivars grown loday are susceptble to Septona tritci, aiso in Kenya. In Kenya. t is the third most important wheat pathogen (stem-rusl and yellow-rust are fte two most important pathogens). Resistance to this pathwgen is found among winter bread-wheat cultivars in Kenya. Resistance of the winter wheals has been transferred to high-yelding semi-dwarf spring wheats. In addition, sources ol resistanoe with spring-wheat varieties (mainly from South America) are being used in breeding programmes. But not enough is known about the types of resistance, their mode of action, inheritance. manipulation and accumulation. The project is initiated to obtain a more detailed insight into the mechanisms of resistance.The objectives of the projeca are the following: (1) to charactenze and make an inventory of bread-wheat germplasm with partial resistance to Septoria tnticM for plant breeding purposes; and (2) to train Kenyan scienlist. The research is carried out at a number of localions trom the Nalional Plant Breeding Centre. Nporo. Supply of laboratory equipment is included. Comrnponent-analysis under controlled conditins and greenhouse experiments are essential and will be carried out tor a large part at Research Inslttute for Plant Prolection (IPO), Wageningen. Specitic project activities are as follows: (1) improve procedures and experimental designs to test entries for resistance tc S. tItici; (2) assessment oa the effect of heading date and plant length on parlial resistance; (3) studies into the race-speciic character ot the pathogen, (4) screening for partial resistance to S. triici; and (6) crossing a number of pure varieties with different levels of par!ial resistance with the most susceptible test vanety to obtain an insighl in inheritance and the number of genes involved Contact in research organization: Mr. Arama: National Plant Breeding Centre; P.O.

Implementing agency: SNV ( Netherlands Development Organization). Start date: 1992-00-00. Country/countries: Ethiopia; Slatement of objectives/abstract: Dassenetch land consists of a semi-and plain of about 2300 sq km which stretches across the area north of Lake Turkana (Rudolf) in South Omo (Ethiopia). The Dassenetch (or Gelba). a nomad tnbe of about 18 000 people, have an economy based on a balance between pastoralism and flood-relreat cultivation with fishing providing a food supplement in the dry season. For centuries, their contacts with the out-side' wodd were limited, each Irbe in the area subsisted wthin a mainly closed economy. The lower Omo region is stil one of the most inaccessible and least developed parts of East Africa. The pro,ect aims to improve the situation of the local population in a participatory way. At national level a coordinating coDmmdtee is established in which the different parties are represented, including the South Omo Regional Representative of the Council of Representatives, the Addis Ababa University, the implementing agencies and the donor agencies. SNV will provide a proect coordinator. A research coordinator wiH be employed for one year to support the research activities. Specific project objectives are as folows: (1) to analyse the possibl role of local organizations of Dassanetch in develpment processes; (2) to identify priorities and needs for development activities amongst this transhumant pastoralist group: and (3) to assess the socio-economic and cultural situation and the influence and impact of the Ethio-Korean cotton project on the Dassanetch 311 SPMR Informabon system socie.Specik resarch topics are as folows: (A) Economic aspects (ivestock and crp producnon systems, igrtion activities, ga ring and fishing activites; income awid income dmsion, lbour division; credit and savings systems; food securiy systems); (B) Organizational stuctes (baditil organizations; partipation n decision makng processes; dvon mabe/lemae; dan system; (C) Socia seric (demographic infomnation size and dispersion; health care systems trad. and non-trad.; education and training mechanisms; (D) Natural resources management (eco-system; land use; land use rights; grazing nghts; tnbal relaions; Land intrusion/reallocationi.

Country/countries: Global; Ecuador, Ethiopia; Netherlands; Mexico; Statemnent of objectives/abstract: Wheat production has increased worldwide The technology provided consistence of a package of improved vaneties, use ol artiicial fertilizers and preventive as well as curative use of pesticides. Many cultivars have been derived from genetic material developed by CIMMYT. Major gene resistance has been used as the major type of genetic resistance and the resistance has a limded genetic base. The project aims to identiy more durable types of resistance based on minor genes. Major gene resistance has suffered from a number ot breakthroughs ol resistance causing crop tosses and food insecunty. The project focuses on bread wheat as wel as durum (macaroni) wheat. Yelow (streak) rust is the largest polential threat to wheat in many developing countries. A potential solution is to increase the genetic base of resistance e.g. by partial resistance to develop more durable forms of resistance. Leafrust and stemrust have been researched in the Netherlands and the in USA. This research has shown that in winter wheats parlial resistance occurs while in summer wheats (the wheat races in the tropics) such resistance is not yet systematically researched. The objectives of the projec are: (1) to characterize, make inventories and develop methods of partial resistance in wheat against yellow rust and stemrust; and (2) to publicize results to increase the use of the knowledge.

In Ethiopia, scientists at te Instihtte of Agriuaiural Research (IAR) are coading mesearch to study the uliiliation of draught oxen for different farm activites in relation to feding patten, work calenr and clirnate. In Senegal, scientists at the Insttu senegalais de recherches agricoles (ISRA) are conducting research to study the incidence of disease among workng and non-workng NOama oxen; quaniying the effects of bypanosomiasis and gastrintestinal worm burden (Sbongykod sp) on work ouput of draught oxen: and monitoing the health, work output, batational and repoductive perfomance of locA draught cows on farms. In Togo, research at the Projet pour la promolion de la action aninale (PROPTA) is intended to: povide qualitative and quantitative nforrmation on the agncullural and industrial byproducts available for feeding draught anrimts in the region; improve methods of storing agricultual byproducts; define adequate diets for draught oxen based on locally available byproducts.A cheap a robust elctronxc instrurnent for measuring the major parameters connected wi work output of draught animals has been desijned. The intrumenl works in four modes and has integral rechargeable baneries which last for 40 h on one charge. The first draft of an instcton and maintenance manual has been writen.

Implementing agency: International Development Research Centre. Start date: 1992-12403. End date: 199403-03. Countby/countries: Kenya; Statement of objctives/abstract: Remaining indigenous forests in Kenya cover a mere two percent of the country's land area. These threatened ecosystems are inhabited by marginalized hunter-gatherer communities and house most of the countrys extant biodiversily. The natural resource polential of the forests is still signifcant but not sufficiently explored, and threatened by further degradation due to nappropnate policies and land use practices. There is an urgent need to identify and implement resource use and management options thal conserve the forests while at the same time allowing the local communties, as well as the country as a whole, to derive maximum sustainable economic benefits from them.

End date: 1995-11-30. Country/ocu tries: Kenya; Statement ol objectiveslabstract: Sesame is widely grown by small farmers in semi-arid and marginal areas of tie coastal and Lake Victoria regions of Kenya. It provides protein and edible oil for their diet, and is a useful supplementary income source. It also contrbutes to Kenya's need for edible oil, which is imported at great cost. In its fkst phase. the project included a survey of sesame growers in the coast region and develped prelininary recommendations to farmers. A collection of 135 germplasm lines, both local and imported, were screened and preliminary selections made, and agronomic trials staned. This has been an important step for the University of Naiobi in documentng and keeping track of the sesame genic diversty available in Kenya today. This phase of support will continue to develop improved sesame varieties and production packages.

Implemntbn agec: Intemabonal Developet Researh Centr. Counycountnes. Ugarda; Stent of obpcivealstractb Uganda has a populabtion o 17 milion people groing at rated o ver 3% per annurn. Aqiutue s the baclbone of the countys ecooomy, but civil wars, subsequent economc decine and continug rapd population maeases have contributed to a steady fall in Me per capita produtd of food. As in most parts of tpical Africa. soils in Uganda tend to be strongly lached and consequently very acidic and nutrient deficient. The comnmon pactce of nutrent replenishment is by means of fertilLzers at sivficant costs to the users. Based on previous work, It has been found that te Busumbu phosphate deposts from eastern Uganida could have potential for te producin of a low-cost, dict application ferfiizer. This proect will enhance food security by wcrasn the prodctit of me soil of Uganda, through Me use of low-cost, locally produced, direct application phosphate fertilzers. Researchers will deternine the soooeconomic, legal and agoecoogic context within which fertilizer supply and demand dynamics exist in the country; determine the mineralogy, solubdity, benefciation requirements, and gross spatial distribution of francolite deposits arournd the Bukusu Hill complex; and determine the agronornic peiormrnace of Bukusu phosphate rocks on acd sails. Based upon information obtained, researcds will provide small-scale farmers, extension workers, and policymakers wih guidelines for the use of local phosphate rocks; and determine prelirnana mining produce presentation, marketing, and financial viability requirements for the Bukusu rock phosphate.
