Stemming from an 11-year DFID funded programme under its Renewable
Natural Resources Research Strategy (RNRRS), Technology Development
Assistance for Agriculture: Putting Research into Low Income
Countries reviews part of this programme as a case study of a
broader issue of technology development for Africa.
Controversially, it critiques current international technology
development assistance and focuses on the potential role of the
private sector in agricultural technology development as well as
providing insights for future cognate science policy and practice.
The book focuses on the RIU "Best Bets" Africa sub-programme. This
identified promising proposals to take existing agriculture
research products and put these into use in ways that would benefit
the poor in developing countries. The sum set aside for this was
GBP5 million. The empirical sections of the book cover project
selection, progress and programme management over a 2009-2012
period with special attention paid to lessons learned that may have
implications for future cognate technology development assistance.
This topical book gives direct evidence of meeting objectives and
delivering real changes in technology development for Africa to
postgraduate students, researchers, international bodies, NGOs,
policy makers and government organisations working on natural
resource management, technology development assistance, and low
income country agriculture.
