NARRATIVE SMARY A major portion of the Center's program in this reporting year centered on the planning and preparation for th( International Seminar, described elsewhere in this Report. W1,ork also went forward on the agreed-upon fo cused research program. Eight special development-related courses were cffered with J.DC stu dents constitating 49 percent of the total enrollment. Twenty-eight other courses taught by LTC Program Faculty had an LDC student ratio of 39 per cent. Three students in the Ph.D. in Development Studies program completed their degrees, one each from Sri Lanka, Great Britain, and the United States. Sever. students in the program initiated field research in these countries: Ghana, Guatemala, Korea, Nicaragua, Philippines, Turkey, and Venezuela. There were 11 new students admitted to the propram, 4 of whom were women. A major new effort to match alumni. with jobs was begun. Of non-Development Studies students associated with the Center, 22 received M.A. degrees and 8 received their Ph.D.s. The Center's infonation capacity continued to serve development prac titioners. T.o najor monographs were published--Cooperative and Commune (the proceedings of the 1975 Group Farming Conference), and An Annotated Bibliography on Land Tenure and Agrarian Reform in Africa and the Near East. Itcis were added to all but one of the regular pulications series. The Library continued to improve its collection and to distribute duplicate publications to LDC institutions. Center faculty and research fellows continued to accept consulting assignments in a variety of countries. A total cf 58.68 work months was spent on consulting in this reporting year. Agencies requesting assistance included, for example, Banco de Desarrollo Agropecuario of Venezuela, Ins tituto Interamericano de Ciencias Agricolas, International Food Policy Re search Center, Organization of Arab PetroleLm Exporting Countries, IBRD, Ford Foundation, and a number of AID missions. Linkages within the University of 'Hisconsin W:,o e strengthened this year by placing the Center more directly within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, and adding the Director of the College's office of in ternational programs to the Center's Executive Comittee. Those with AID/J were improved by a visit to the Center by the then Director of cthe Office of Rural Development, and by numerous faculty and staff trips to Washington. Over 100 visitors from 29 countries came to Lhe Center duriiig the year--a major source for linhkages both within and outside the usual university com munity. Particularly close linkages are maintained with those Philippine institutions with which Professor David King is working. In summary, the work of this year has enhanced the Center's response capability in the areas of land tenure and related institutional concerns. It is hoped that it will lead in the next year or two to a redefining of areas in which new research is needed and to more productive relationships with AID missions. -2 III. DETAILED REPORT General Background and Description of Problem This grant is an extension of the 211-d grant initially awarded to the LTC in 1969, which itself was a sequel to a contractual relationship between AID ud the Center which began in 1962. At the time of the of this award extension the AID review team found the Center's on-going program to be both consistont with the original purpose of the grant and of sig nificant use to the Agency, to LDC governments, and to international agencies. The Center's program focuses on what AID and others (including the Congress) have recognized to be the crucial relationship of land an:i agricultural tenure development, especially vis a vis small farmers and land less laborers. AID expects to have a continuing need for advice and as sistance on tenure problems; the Center's response capability to meet this need is assured by this grant extension. Purpose of the Grant The purpose of the current grant extension and revision is to itate full facil and continuing utilization of the response capability of the Land Tenure Center in the areas of land tenure and related agrarian re form and institutional dcvelopment with special cmphases on helping farmers small in the LDCs arid on gaining additional insights into and knowledge of the critical issues of lzanJ tenure and reform as key aspects of development. The LTC is unique in its professional expertise hi the agrarian land and reForm areas. No other group or individual has the dep :1, scope, and expoerience of the Center staff. Ararian reform is a particularly sensitive subject and, therefore, considerable flexibility is needed approach in aid utilization by AID. A utilization 211-d grant provides for that flexibility and appears to be the best mechmnism available to AID to obtain the LTC serices. AID's present emphasis on rural development . id on raising the income levels and well-being of the rural poor assistance requires and advice on man/land problems; such problems are critical developing to successful progrms and projects to assist the rural poor. -3. Detailed Report 4 Objectives of the Grant A. Objectives Restated The Center's program has five major objectives/ouLputs: expanding knowledge by means of research u idertaken by faculLy and research fellows; carrying on formal, degree-oricnted education of students from all over the world, and short- or long-ten training programs for LDC national;; continuing its unique publications mid library programs; maintaining Z consulting and technical assistance capacity; and further refining and developing program-enhancing linkages. B. Review of Objectives The Center's main ebjective--the expansion of Inowledge--concentrated this year on a focused research program, and or, defining the issues which need to be considered in the forthcoming Internatior:al Seminar.
