One of the most significant
accomplishments of the Project
is the network it established
among researchers, exten-
sionists, farmers, and other
Tanzanian groups.
* The FSR/E teams conducted
 diagnostic work and experi-
 ments with all six commodity
 research groups in the pilot
 districts (maize, cotton, grain
 legumes, rice, beans, sorghum/
 millet).
* The Farming Systems section
 accomplished a "hidden
 agenda" of influencing on-
 station researchers to adjust
 their priorities toward the
 greater consideration of farmer
 circumstances in their own
 research programs.
* The FSR/E teams also promoted
 valuable lines of communica-
 tion among:
 E Commodity researchers
 L Extensionists
 O Researchers from Tanzania's
 two universities
 O Seed industry personnel
 l Political leaders
* FSR/E team members partici-
 pated in regional and interna-
 tional workshops and
 conferences.


 The Project achieved an impres-
sive record of documentation,
producing more than 100 docu-
ments covering all five phases of
the FSR/E process, including:
* Statistical packages for
 computers
* Diagnostic and experimental
 results
* Annotated bibliography of
 FSR/E studies in Tanzania
 The documents, compiled by
expatriates and zonal teams
working together, provide a
valuable resource for others.


 Through the efforts of the
FSR/E team, groundwork was
laid for the development of an
effective national organization to
coordinate and control regionally
based FSR/E activities. Other
accomplishments included:
* Assistance in financial
 planning and record keeping
* Set-up of inventory and
 physical property system
* Advice on the structural
 organization of research
* Assistance in long-range
 planning and budgeting
* Training of counterparts in
 management
