West and Central Africa Sorghum Research Network (ROCARS) “Towards sustainable sorghum production, utilization, and commercialization in West and Central Africa”, 19-22 April 1999, at Lome, Togo. Delegates from the national agricultural research systems (NARS) of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo attended the workshop.

The main objectives of the workshop were to review the Network activities, give an opportunity to sorghum
researchers and their partners to exchange views and information, and plan future activities. Sorghum
production and utilization, networks and food self-sufficiency, partnerships and technology exchange, and impact evaluation were some of the subjects that were discussed during the technical sessions. Presentations
