The general objectives of the project are to:
1) Develop and manage an interactive communication system among the stakeholders of
agricultural research for development (ARD).
2) Identify information resources relevant to ARD and enhance access to them, through a
gateway (portal) function. 3) Build knowledge pools through collaborative efforts among stakeholders in a few high
priority areas identified by them.
EGFAR is a two-year project. This project proposal presents a detailed plan of action in order
to reach these three objectives, takling 50 specific activities that will be carried out through
various forms of research and information partnerships among the stakeholders of ARD. This
project is based on stakeholder-led initiatives.
