Assistance to the Second Agricultural Research Project, Bangladesh
1989Also available in:
No results found.Progress in Nutrition and Diet Development research at FARS is progressing slowly due to lack of essential equipment and research facilities. The analytical laboratory has no fume hood and no spectrophotometer, and electrical and water supplies plus adequate drainage. Some modern equipment and supplies have been ordered and delivered but analysis must still be done as guest workers at BAU. Research morale is affected and Dr. Bhuiyan's absence as CSO-BFRS means no senior experienced SSO is presen t to guide and supervize the young SO's on the staff of FARS. The major effort of FARS has been focused upon seedstock generation and improved polyculture techniques for aquaculture--programmes which have been very successful and have tended to emphasize in this research station upon known or better techniques rather than efforts to expand and improve research facilities, equipment and personnel of underdeveloped programmes of the station. More emphasis must be placed upon finishing the NDD la boratories, the diet testing facility and the experimental feed mill equipment for diet manufacturing and diet testing.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookNeeds and potential for rural youth development in Lao People's Democratic Republic 2006
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years much international attention has focused on the plight of youth, many of whom live in abject poverty with minimal education and opportunities. Data indicate that almost one in five young persons – 18 percent of the 1 158 million 15 to 24 year olds worldwide – survive on less than US$1 per day while as many as 45 percent live on less than US$2 per day. The situation in Asia and the Pacific is even graver, especially in rural locations where the majority of the population in the re gion live. The mission of FAO’s rural youth programme is to provide rural youth with the tools and support they need to become healthy individuals and take part in the fight against hunger in their communities. To be effective such efforts must be guided by accurate data on rural youth which are lacking in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. To address this information gap the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific collaborated with local partners to conduct a study on rural youth based on interviews with relevant officials, surveys and group discussions with youth in seven villages in two provinces. The findings indicate that there is considerable potential to generate cash income from farming if youth are taught new techniques, how to grow new crops and how to sell their produce locally. Rural youth are open minded and have ideas on how to improve their situation. But they need basic support such as financial aid and improved knowledge and skills. This report provides recomm endations on policies and programmes targeting rural youth, education, employment opportunities and access to credit and funding. -
