Abstract:

The National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) was established in Uganda with a mandate to undertake, promote and coordinate research in all aspects of crops, fisheries, forestry and livestock, and to ensure dissemination and application of research results throughout the country. Recent changes in Government policies, as expressed in the Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture, place emphasis upon commercialisation, privatisation, decentralisation and broader participation in the provision of agricultural services, including research. NARO welcomes these challenges and feels they will greatly contribute to the utilisation of technologies and methods which NARO and others have developed to the benefit of large numbers of producers and consumers. This folder contains "Technical Information Materials on Improved Technologies", and a copy of "Improved Technologies by NARO, 1992- 2002". These materials are intended to contribute to the greater utilisation of improved technologies, by increasing awareness of what is currently available.
