Description Funding constraints for agricultural research have led scientists to pool infrastructural, financial, and human resources to address and solve problems. Such collaboration in research and technology exchange is referred to as networking. Collaborative agricultural research networks are becoming increasingly popular as they facilitate efficient use of funds, facilities, and human resources, and avoid duplication of effort. The Cereals and Legumes Asia Network (CLAN) is a network for Asia that assists and facilitates research and technology exchange activities on sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea, and groundnut. This network also supports several Working Groups consisting of scientists interested in finding quick solutions to regional priority problems. This paper discusses the structure and operation of Networks and Working Groups, with special reference to the Working Group on Nitrogen Fixing Legumes in Asia. Such Working Groups consist of interested members from regional, national, or international programs or institutions, linked through a Technical Coordinator and cooperating efficiently to address important production constraints in developing countries.
