Abstract
104 words
This paper highlights major findings/results of how synergizing
agricultural science and technology (research), development
and training using the Agricultural Research and Development
Programme (ARDEP) in Malawi as a case study can benefit
the rural masses in Africa. Within the 3-5 years of
implementation, ARDEP has registered 16 technologies whose
uptake has increased by more than 75%, contributing to increased
income by over 20%, livestock units by more than 400% and
land under irrigation by more than 200%, reaching 32-56%
women farmers, 15% of which are affected by HIV/AIDS.
Over 66 organizations collaborate in the micro-projects which
also support 18 MSc and 4 PhD students.
