(RSC) of the RWC. Findings of the review show that the RWC has emerged as an innovative model for regional and international collaboration, which is now beginning to develop a credible record of achievements. It is operating as an inter-institutional and inter-center, multidisciplinary network facilitating systems based farmer participatory research in the rice-wheat ecology of the IGP. The main source of strength of RWC is the commitment of its key stakeholders to the founding principles and ownership of its work program spanning strategic, applied, and adaptive research and knowledge dissemination activities.
