relevant secondary information and data on the current organization and medium- and long-term plans for agricultural research and extension The study undertook a consultative process with stakeholders to outline a vision for the future direction of agricultural research and extension, identify constraints to future development of agricultural research and extension and develop a preliminary set of strategies and roadmap for development of the research and extension system The fieldwork for the study was carried out over four weeks in January and February 2003 The study involved the analysis of background data, key informant interviews, and focus group meetings with international NGOs, bilateral and multilateral aid agencies, government officials, and research institutes involved in
