Research that works for developing countries and AustraliaPakistan - Country Office
Country OfficeThe most recent formal consultations were held in 2005 under the auspices of the Agriculture Sector Linkages Program (ASLP). Two new thematic priorities-horticulture and dairy- emerged from these consultations. Water was also identified as a cross-cutting theme that underpins these new thematic priorities and links the expanded Pakistan program to the past ACIAR focus. Consequently, a broader focus on land and water resources, encompassing communitydriven water allocation and drainage management as well as irrigated cereal production and horticulture, will be retained through ACIAR's core program as a complement to the ASLP. In 2008-09 new projects will be considered that underpin irrigation management in the mango and citrus sectors. All new projects in Pakistan will include significant components of capacity building in participatory research and extension methodologies. Indicative priorities are grouped under the following themes: Subprogram 1: Developing more productive and competitive mango and citrus production and marketing systemsSubprogram 2: Improving livelihoods of dairy farmersSubprogram 3: Management of land and water resources to sustain productive enterprises |
