international cooperation is built on its close relationships with national
agricultural research systems (NARS) and donors. Cooperation with NARS
is promoted through seven regional programs, each with a regional coordinator
based in the region itself. In addition to the recently established Regional
Program for Central Asia and the Caucasus, the other six Regional Programs
cover the following subregions/agroecologies: North
Africa; the Nile Valley and Sub-Saharan
Africa; West Asia; the Arabian
Peninsula; the Highlands; and Latin
America.     Besides enhancing complementarity in agricultural research and exchange of technology and germplasm between ICARDA and NARS, these programs enhance the development of intra- and inter-country linkages, research coordination and management, and effective networking within each subregion. In collaboration with NARS, technology transfer and its adoption by farmers is promoted through these programs by contributing to the development of multi-disciplinary research teams involving national scientists, extensionists and farmers. This ensures a research continuum between ICARDAs research programs and those of the national agricultural research systems. |
