National Agricultural Research Centre-Muguga: annual report 2002

Abstract

In order to share our research agenda with stakeholders in the agricultural industry, a Centre Research Advisory Committee meeting (CRAC) was held early in the year, in the month of March. This was followed by gender workshop to incorporate gender perspective in our Agricultural Research Activities. The Centre advanced a high yielding maize variety-Muguga 1, resistant to streak and common rust to full release status. In addition all the seven projects under the Agricultural Information and Response Initiative (ATIRI) enabled the respective Community Based Organizations to access technologies required. Monitoring of these ATIRI programmes indicated that the technologies ware taken up and implementation was on schedule.
