Item NAHRC Naivasha KARI July 2001(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 2001) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteKenya Agricultural Research Institute NARP II GOK/IDA Funded Programs 2001/2002 Budget Sub-Activity Level SummaryItem National Poultry Research Programme Detailed Workplan 1995(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1995) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe Plan of Operations for the National Poultry Research Programme (NPRP) indicates that on each year a detailed workplan has to be produced. The Workplan for 1995 is the first in this series. The Workplan describes the activities planned for 1995, the organisations and individuals involved, and the detailed budget to execute these activities. Due to the change in the character of research between NARP I and NARP II, 1995 will be a year of adaptation to the new situation. The regionalization research implies that more research officers will be assigned to poultry research, in the past when only Naivasha based officers were involved in NARPI. Detailed planning of projects for 1995 requires immediate involvement of the officers in charge, both regionally and nationally. They will be appointed in the Plan of operations for the NPRP. Consequently, the detailed planning for 1995 will be carried out as soon as they can be involved fully. Another adaptation is the involvement of Research Extension Advisory Committees (REACs) in the process of planning and priority setting The role of the REACs has to be established, not only for poultry research but for all commodity or factor-oriented programmes. For the detailed plans of 1995, priority setting is based on the involvement of all stakeholders in poultry research and production through two priority-setting workshops instead of formal REAC meetings. The REACs will be involved in this planning process as soon as possible.Item Inception Report Draft - 1 March 1991(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1991) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute - National Animal Husbandry Research Station Naivasha ; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteOn request of the Kenyan government the process of improving agricultural research in Kenya was started by a study if the international Services for National Agricultural Research(ISNAR)in 1981. This study resulted in a National Agricultural Research Project (NARP)of which the preparation report was published in September 1986. This report set out research priorities in broad lines and indicated the required organizational structure and necessary reorganizations. The Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI),already existing since 1979, has been given a new semi-autonomous status to coordinate all research within the framework of NARP.Item Accessing Competitive Grants Under The Netherlands Support To Kari December 1998(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1998) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe GoN support to KARl under NARP " is refocusing on the approach to funding research, as of January 1999, the Netherlands supported activities will be geographically concentrated and support will be awarded via competitive grants.

N.; Okuro, O. J.Lare area Njoro Division, Nakuru District is a good agricultural area supporting a high population. It is an area that was recently settled by people from different parts of the country. Despite the good agricultural potential for both crops and livestock, the area has not received much attention from research institutions; a situation that has led to limited agricultural production technology being available to extension workers.Item Accessing Competetive Grants Under Netherlands Suppoet To Kari(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1998) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe GoN support to KARl under NARP " is refocusing on the approach to funding research, as of January 1999, the Netherlands supported activities will be geographically concentrated and support will be awarded via competitive grants.

This assistance will be specifically aimed at developing recommendations for the small scale farmers through: Strengthening Regional Research Programmes,Dairy Cattle,Poultry, Kenya Soil Survey and Wildlife Disease ResearchItem Agricultural Knowledge and Information System Transnzoia West Pokot Homa Bay and Kiambu Volume 6 Executive Summary(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe Kenya Agricultural Research Institute and the Ministry of Agriculture undertook a study of the agricultural knowledge and information systems (AKIS) of four districts, including high-potential and pastoral areas, to document and assess the significance of different actors and organisations as potential uptake/dissemination pathways for agricultural technologies; and to consider ways to improve the performance of the knowledge and information systems.Item Guidelines for participatory monitoring & evaluation of technologies with farmers. Kitale: Kenya Agricultural Research Institiute.(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999)Current trends in agricultural development have led to an increase in technology development through farmer participatory research (FPR). This is true within both governmental research institutes and non-governmental organizations. Farmers are often involved in some or all of the stages of the technology development (TD) process, from defining the problem through to dissemination. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) is a common starting point for many research projects to ensure the programme is demand led and to guide the selection of researchable issues which address the real needs of rural people. However, as observed by Okali et a/ (1994), in their review of FPR projects, monitoring and evaluation is often limited to conventional technical indicators. These guidelines address the issues of participatory monitoring and evaluation of research activities and the potential benefits such approaches bring to agricultural development.Item Applied Research Unit Asal Programme –Laikipia Second Quarter Report APRIL - JUNE 1997 No.2(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1997) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Ng'ethe, R.The second quarter of 1997 was mainly actualisation of the mobilisation process initiated for the different outputs and other activities. This was a rainy season emerging from a long spell of drought. The different action oriented strategies generated different reactions from the small scale holders and pastoralists.Item National Fibre Research Centre 1987/88(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1987/88) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe role of research in agricultural development cannot be overemphasized. In recognition of this very important role it plays, the main.stream of agricultural research has been restricted and given new status under the Kenya agricultural Research Institute (KARl).Item National Dairy Cattle Research Programme 1995(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1995/1996) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe Kenyan smallholder dairy sector contributes to over 80 % of the total milk supply and involves at least 300,000 small-scale farming households. Improvement in technical and productive efficiency of the system are essential if the Kenyan Government's target for increased milk supply during the next decade are to be met. An effective dairy cattle research capability is a pre-requisite for the successful generation and uptake of improved production methods by mallholder dairy farmers.Item National Agricultural Research Project 11 Research Proposals 1996 Regional Research Programme Kakamega(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1995) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe research proposals that are presented in this document are still preliminary.

The remarks of the CRAC/REAC meeting will be integrated into the final version of the research proposal.Item Report On The Joint Internal Audit Of The National Dryland Farming Research Centre - Katumani March 1997(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1997) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThe Netherlands supports to KARl under the National Agricultural Research Project II (NARP II) is coordinated by the Netherlands Liaison Office and consists of the following interventions: • General Core Fund (support to the general management of KARl); • Restricted Core Fund (support to the office of the Assistant Director Regional Research Centres); • Support to Gender issues in agricultural research; • Strengthening Regional Research Programme Kakamega; • Strengthening Regional Research Programme Katumani; • Strengthening Regional Resaerch Programme Mtwapa; • Support to the National Dairy Cattle Research Programme; • Support to the National Poultry Resaerch Programme; • Development of a Strategic Plan for Animal Production Research (not yet pperational) ; • Wildlife Disease Research Project; • Kenya Soil Surveys • National Seed Quality Control Services (not yet operational).Item Information From The First INFPD/ FAO Electronic Conference On Family Poultry 7 December1998 - July 1999(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Mukisira, E.A.; De Jong, R.Family poultry comprises extensive and small-scale, intensive poultry production and is still important in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific. This is merely a working definition and there are very many exceptions. For example, Aini (1990) has reported large-scale production of indigenous chickens (Ayam kampung) by means of the extensive system in Malaysia.Item National Agricultural Research Programme Phase II Project Preparation Report January 1995(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1995) Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteFor many years, the Kenya agricultural research system was characterized by duplication of research programmes which led to wasteful use of resources. Concerted efforts were, therefore, made in the mid 1980s to rationalize the system. An initial step towards this rationalization was the merging of the former East African Agricultural and Forestry Research Organisation (EAAFRO) at Muguga, the Scientific Research Division (SRD) and the Veterinary Research Division (VRD) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development into the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI).Item Manual For Document Analysis Information Services KARI 1998(Kenya Agricultutal Research Institute, 1998) Kenya Agricultutal Research InstituteField used to indicate the level of analysis that has been carried out on the documentary unit as well as the relationship of the documentary unit to other documents. Hence the field indicates whether the documentary unit being treated is taken out of the larger whole, i.e. processing is at the analytical level, or whether it is done taking the documentary unit as a whole, i.e. processing is at the monographic level. The relationship of the documentary unit to others can either be that it is one of a series, or that it is one whole amongst many in a collection or that it Stands alone with no relationship whatsoever with other documents.
