Workshop objective
The first strategic thrust of SACCAR¿s Strategic Plan for Research and Training Coordination
and Integration, is to ¿Assist NARS to set up national priorities and use them to identify
regional priorities¿. The main objective of this activity is to ensure that the methodology used
in identifying national research priority is the most appropriate and that realistic comparisons
can be carried out. Another important objective is to contribute to a prioritisation system that
allows the limited amounts of money available for agricultural research and training to be
spent on the most important problems for the farmers and the society, both on short and long
term.
