International research organizations can effectively complement those within LDCs.

Institutions like IRRI and CIMMYT have played a useful role in transferring technology to Bangladesh in the three phases of material transfer, design transfer and capacity transfer. Yet organizational difficulties, low research intensities and inadequate linkages between research, extension and farmers within Bangladesh are major deficiencies.

Slow progress so far in livestock development may be partly associated with practical difficulties in achieving the degree of farmer contact needed in livestock research, while working mainly with male stock-rearers. Most men rearers in Java spend most daylight hours working away from home and their stock, and feel too busy to become involved in trials of new livestock technology.</p><p>The advantages of involving women in village livestock research include ease of communication during daylight working hours, interest amongst women (and some training) in nutrition, health and reproduction, and the ability of women to manage animals in farm trials requiring constant supervision. In some villages women are already involved in group activities, which can form a ready basis for the communication of ideas on livestock improvement.</p><p>The potential for improving productivity of Javanese livestock has been demonstrated under research station conditions, yet little improvement in village livestock production has been achieved. One approach to increasing progress in livestock development could be to promote research which involves women rearers or the wives of rearers. This may require special efforts to encourage women scientists to work in villages.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"21 2","pages":"Pages 119-127"},"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)90048-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89873968","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}

Food production, however, has failed to keep pace with population growth, and with the fall in oil prices the country has been forced into a programme of austerity. A series of agricultural development programmes which were started in the mid-1970s, attempted to lay the foundation for increased food production, and the Food Production Plan formulated in 1980 set out a coordinated strategy for at least narrowing the ‘food gap’ over a five-year period.</p><p>The importance of monitoring and evaluating agricultural programmes in Nigeria has been stressed from the outset, but in spite of the massive resources devoted to this effort it has not proved possible to devise an effective means of measuring incremental crop production. There are many reasons for this: in part it is due to the complexity of the agricultural production system, the effect of exogenous variables and the initial weak data base. However, the survey approach, particularly in the early period, was inappropriate. The projects themselves have not been an unqualified success, and the main fault lies in the failure to create adequate institutional linkages with government agencies to ensure continuity of the development process. The Nigerian Government and the principal external funding agency, the World Bank, have recognised this problem and a new ‘agricultural sector’ approach is now being adopted.</p><p>This has presented monitoring and evaluation practitioners with a new challenge to devise a more cost-effective means of collecting and disseminating information on key parameters, particularly food production, and to achieve the correct balance between the needs of management for ‘monitoring’ information and the longer term ‘evaluation’ requirements. There is a need, therefore, to reappraise the methods employed in the estimation of food production, and new techniques such as low-level aerial photography which have shown promise should be further tested. Finally, some measure of well-being in the target groups needs to be developed over and above the estimation of physical crop production increases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"22 3","pages":"Pages 161-173"},"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)90063-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86658536","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}
