The Second Agricultural Research Project aims at increasing efficiency and productivity of crops and livestock production systems with sustainable use of natural resources, focusing on the needs of the smallholder sector. The project consists of three components. First, strengthening agricultural research system will bring about more effective and efficient agricultural research institutions, and an effective arrangement for donor coordination and for coordinating regional and other collaborative research programs. Second, organization and management of agricultural research will provide demand-driven, client oriented research, efforts to introduce participatory techniques, and guidelines for small-farmer oriented and gender-sensitive research. Third, human resource development will support increased number of research personnel in needed disciplines, and strengthen financial management and information services.
