Miscellaneous RIU 2007 CPP40, New technologies, new processes, new policies: tried-and-tested and ready-to-use results from DFID-funded research, Research Into Use Programme, Aylesford, Kent, UK, ISBN 978-0-9552595-6-2, p 95. This is one of 280 summaries describing key outputs from the projects run by DFID's 10-year Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy (RNRRS) programmes.Summary for Project title: R8281: Linking the demand for, and supply of, agricultural production and post-harvest information in Uganda and R8429: Linking supply and demand in Uganda phase 2.People who advise farmers?government, non-government and private enterprise?can now use a
checklist to make sure that they give farmers the information farmers want, in a form that farmers
can use. Most poor farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia just don?t get user-friendly
information that would help them decide how to make best use of their land and resources. The
checklists reinforce the trend in agricultural information and extension towards demand-driven
services. They?re now used by national agricultural advisory services and universities in Uganda,
private agricultural advisory services, and research and extension organisations. And, because
they?re not specific to any location or culture they have a huge potential to be used globally.The CD has the following information for this output: Description, Validation, Current Situation, Environmental Impact. Attached PDF (8 pp.) taken from the CD.
