Abstract

This paper draws preliminary findings from a study across Africa, Asia and Latin America of the potential for closer links between NGOs and government agricultural research and extension services in the development and dissemination ofagriculture-related technologies and management practices. Whilst at a practical level concerned with the functions that the respective organizations. might jointly or separately undertake, the study also sought to locate potential actions in the wider political and economic context in order toprevent attempts to generalize 'success stories' into inappropriate contexts. The central methodology of the study was to generate a substantial number (over 70) of case studies prepared in collaboration with the NGO or government practitioners who had been involved in them. These were supplementedby country or area-based overviews of wider NGO-state relations.
