This is the first of two papers and it discusses various aspects of the planning of agricultural research projects in the country. Problems of farmers and field observations served as sources of ideas for research projects only in one third of the cases. Compatibility with an Institute's goals and resources availability were the major criteria considered for proposing research projects. Project leaders in consultation with project members formulated their research projects within six months. The majority of the projects were discussed, evaluated and approved by scientific bodies like the Staff Research Council (SRC) or the Project Advisory Committee (PAC). Only a smaller proportion of the project proposals were rejected because of lack of personnel and facilities, and poorly prepared project proposals. In a considerable number of cases research methodologies were modified after approval for want of funds, men and materials, and due to the discovery of new methods. Apart from lack of resources in terms of men and materials, human problems such as a poor relationship with superiors also played a significant role in the premature termination of research projects. In a number of cases, no deadlines were set for the completion of research projects, and inter-disciplinary co-operation was lacking.</div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"22 4","pages":"Pages 217-231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90010-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76055094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Part 1, administrative experience of the College's Rural Development Department provided insights into professional linkages to overcome the divergence of disciplines related to rural development. These linkages can provide a basis for the administration of rural development projects. The historical background to the NRDP, an evolutionary stage of development policy, and an examination of selected indicators of economic progress are considered here in Part 2.During Malawi's colonial history, early policy protected smallholders' rights and encouraged commercialization in estates. The fundamental importance of smallholders came gradually into focus, gaining increasing emphasis with the movement toward independence. Then, in the mid-1970s, the NRDP was conceived as a multi-dimensional means of redressing the inequitable distribution of benefits resulting from the earlier, agriculture-focused development policy.Indicators of economic progress suggest that rural Malawi is currently faring less well than a decade ago despite the expanding proportion of resources channelled into the NRDP. This is the context for which the University must have the capability for appropriately training personnel who can integrate the technical problems and complex issues in the administration of rural development in Malawi.</div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"23 2","pages":"Pages 75-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90032-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80189906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
