Aginfo systems for research country case studies

In late 2007, participants in the 2nd Expert Consultation on International Information Systems for Agricultural Science and Technology (IISAST) heard a series of country case studies documenting experiences in developing information systems and institutional networks for agriculture.

This IISAST process has now evolved into CIARD - the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development initiative.

The country case studies have recently been published examining concrete expereinces of the following aginfo initiatives:

• Thai AGRIS Centre
  
• PhilAgriNet
  
• AGRORED Peru
  
• Lao Agriculture Database
  
• Kenya Agricultural Information Network
  
• Ghana GAINS
  
• Egypt National Agricultural Research Information Management System.
