Resumen
Descripción
This review's objectives were to
examine the structure and performance of the agricultural
research and extension systems (public and private) at the
central and provincial levels, identify successes as well as
constraints to improving the system s effectiveness for
fostering innovation, and propose options for further policy
and institutional development, drawing on lessons from
international experience. The review focused principally on
nonplantation crops, although its main recommendations apply
across the agricultural sector. This synthesis report
summarizes the main findings of the review and builds upon
them by adding some new elements. The conflict in Sri Lanka
is explicitly recognized. Additionally, the implications of
changes in the wider agricultural context for agricultural
research and extension are explored, and have led to the
adoption of an innovation systems perspective to organize
the major findings
