improved varieties t o Nat ional Agr icul tural Research Systems (NARS) and other
benef iciar ies. ICRISAT, as Project Execut ing Agency and, in col laborat ion wi t h its
par tners ISRA and CIRAD, organized an end-of -project workshop f r o m 22 to 25 Ap r i l

achievements of the project to a wide range of stakeholders and ident i f y fol low-up

Par t icipants at the workshop were f r o m various spheres, including research and
development ( R & D ) , nongovernmental organizations (NGOs ) , the pr ivate sector, and
groundnut producers. Project results were presented dur ing the di f ferent sessions, one
of wh i c h focused on presentat ions by NARS about groundnut seed suppl y systems in
