Agricultural
Research and Development Project
The aim of the project was
to improve farmers’ productivity and income by strengthening the country’s
agricultural research capacity and improving administration of previously
scattered and uncoordinated research programmes. Through the project,
IFAD funds supported:
- establishment of viable research centres
- procurement of research equipment, materials and supplies
- technical assistance and training for local researchers
The project was responsible
for planning, conducting and coordinating all applied research. It
eliminated fragmentation and duplication of research by donors. The
training and incentives provided by the project resulted in a fivefold
increase in the number of qualified Yemeni scientists.
