Couninesin semi-aridregions of Afnra andSouth West Asia facelarge food shortage dueto droughtand poor soil andw3ler management. Vertisols represent a veryhigh potentialfor agricultural production in theseregions but are oftenunderexploied IBSRAMUcreated in 1983in Bangkok.Thailand, is establishinga soil management networkto addressthis question internationally: Management of Vertisolsfor ImprovedAgricultural Production. This proposal concerns the implementationof a regionalprogramme to coordinateand support work on this networkin Africaand South WestAsia (MiddleEast- India).Thirteen countries: Burkina Faso. Bolswana. Burundi,Egypt, Ethiopia. Ghana, Kenya. Mali. Sudan. Tanzania. Uganda. Zambia and Zimbabwewere invited to discusstheir projectson thtsmatter in a first regional seminarin Nairobi.December 1-6, 1986. Thecoordination and support activites proposedwill concentrateon: (a) promotingagrcultural research on the management of vertisols;(b) exchanginginformation on validatedtechnologes; (c) strengthening nationalresearch institutions; (d) backstoppingsome projects with equipment and its maintenanceand withconsultancies. This pro ed1 proposal concerns the coordination andsupport of the Africanand South West Asian programme and descnbes the goaland objectives,the rationale,the intendedactivities, the organization, the requestfor coordinationsupport, a proposedsequence of events,the proposedproject outputs and a budgetof 1 590000 USD for touryears. Thisprogram will link withthe workof internationalcenters (ICRISAT. ASCAD. ICARDA, ILCA) and other research organizations anduniversities.

Projectstaff will (i) organizeand conduct on-farm trials to identify the adaptationzones within which improvedvarieties are clearly superior to the onespresently in use;ii) delermine a&quickly as possiblefarmer constraints and needs, such as fertilizersupply, animaltraction, seeds, practical training, credit, market availabily andprices; hi)develop seed production organizations capable of producingand distrbuting superiorvarieties; iv) improveseed and grain storage lacililes at the farm-level andv) trainnational extension workers in technologytransfer procedures. The on-farmand extensionapproach followed in twoGlobal 2000 projects, one in Ghanaand the otherin Sudan,offers the potentalfor researchers,extension agents and ptoducersto worktogeter fromthe start.

Implmentingagency: Commission of the European Communities. Stafldate: 1984-00-00 Country/counhies:Kenya.

Statemendof objectives/abstracl: Approximately80 percvern of Kenya'sland surface is cdassdied as semi-andand and rangeland.With the exception of a verylimded scope for imgaled agnculture, foodproduction in theseareas is onlypossible through extensive livestock production.More than 70 percent of Kenya'sdomestic stock (cattle, sheep, goats, camels,donkeys) are kept there. mainly by migratory pastoralists. In viewof the highpopulaton growth in Kenyait is vtal to increasefood production in thedry areas.However, the fragile ecosystems cannot support indiscriminately increasing liveslocknumbers without ecological degradation. Apart from increasing the produtivityof animalsthrough modem managements inputs it is necessy to increase stocknumbers. i.e.. stocking density without simultaneously increasing grazing pressure.This can be awieved by combtning the diferent livestock species in such wayfat their rentdietary preferences and nuritent requirements allow a complementaryinstead of a conmpetitiveuseof theavailable forage ressources. The esearchprogramme aimed at providing the necessary bae datato plansuch a stralegy.

Statemertof objectves/abstract: Parasitic caes constitutea maaprhealth problem in manydeveloping countnes, and in severalcases extensive use of the availabledrugs have led to resistanceof the parasitesto the drugs.Due to a lackof interestin developedcountries in tese matters,it wouldbe of greatvalue to find bcaly availabedrugs, from herbal remediesin traWdionaluse, to treatparasitic dieases. The proposedresearch will focuson threeparasites; Plasmodium fabiparum, Entanoeba histolytica and Leishmania aethiopica.Stable cultures of parasiteswill bedeveloped in vitro, a prerequisde for a bioassay.Extracts from selcted Ethiopianplants will thenbe testedas regardsphaimacological activiy, andchanges in morphologyas well as viabilityof the parasiteswhen treated with derived components, will beobserved.

One experiment esinteded to study the effects of heterozygosty,heterogeneity, and their interactionson the drought response (grain yield, physiological attribues) of sorghum.Main objective is to gaininforrnation about the optmal genetic structure of sorghumcultivars adapted to drought stress conditions. A secondexperimel aims atestimates of quan:itative genetic parameters (vararce ad covanancecomponents. hertabilty,parien/hybnd ralabtonship. helerosis) for drought tolerance traits in sorghum,Such knowedge is needed to develop efficient breeding strategies for improvingyield stability of sorghumin thesemi-arid areas of Kenya,

Statementof objectives/abstract: Ethiopiais one of thepnme sources of genetic material for the worlds cereal crops.The indigenous farmers in Ethiopiahave preserved ecologically-compatible, diseaseand drought-resistant varieties and landracs for manycenturies.

However, these traditional farmingsystems must increase their prductivt tomeet demand for food, fibre, and energyby a turgeoningpopulation. A lackof knowedge about tradtionar farming systems,has resulted in pooror inappropriatetransfer of information to farmers, anddegradation of the syslems, causing losses in cropbiodiversity, productivity, andfarm income.
