The workshop addressed the problem of agricultural research which is often constrained by a shortage of experienced managers, weak institutional infrastructure, inadequate management procedures, lack of proper prioritization in the face of competing objectives, and weak mechanisms for exchanging information and technology. Discussions on topics such as 'what is special about agricultural research management' 'human resources planning and management', 'the logical framework approach to management', 'accessing world scientific knowledge', communication and leadership, were complemented by many case studies.
