    This study aims at assessing the agricultural information and communication priority needs of major stakeholders of the National Agricultural Research and Extension System (NARES) and its clients in Armenia. Prior to the field study, the 16 most important national agricultural organisations, including the Ministry of Agriculture of Armenia, were identified and contacted (on the managerial and ministerial levels). These contacts were visited later for face-to-face interviews (for the fu ll list of the respondents, see Annex 1). The structured questionnaire was designed to collect first-hand information about the organisational structure of the Armenian agricultural sector. Special focus was placed on the information and communication systems (both technical and technological) of the sector, their policies and strategies, and their stakeholders and linkages to farmers.

    Comprehensive assessment of national agricultural research and extension systems with a special focus on agricultural research for development in Egypt

    This case study was conducted to provide a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to Egypt’s agricultural research and organizational development to draw lessons and develop supporting guidelines. This study aimed to enhance efforts exerted by Egypt’s NARS in the field of developmental research by formulating an integrated and coherent approach for research and dissemination of proven technologies and practices. Such approaches are expected to address key bottlenecks and provide the needed direction and means for sustainable improved implementation of AR4D. This can ultimately lead to enhancing and empowering the capacity of Egypt’s NARS to better inform and influence policies and facilitate institutional changes required in the agricultural sector. As part of the efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support and strengthen NARS’ research impact and their links to extension service systems, the present assessment was carried out to establish a deeper insight into challenges and opportunities that are facing NARS in Egypt.
