Overview
The Policy Advisory Council of AClAR met in Apia, Western Samoa, on 17-21 June 1985. As part. of the week-long discussions, ACIAR organised a one-day seminar on South Pacific agriculture with the aims of: describing the agricultural sector in the South Pacific to those members of the Council not familiar with the region; outlining ACIAR's activities in the region; seeking the views of other agencies working in the Pacific on agricultural research needs and possible areas of collaboration; raising policy issues related to AClAR's activities in the Pacific for the Council's consideration; obtaining from the Council members their views on the future direction of ACIAR's program in the South Pacific. In addition to reporting on the Apia Seminar, this volume also contains a description of ACIAR's activities in the South Pacific, and reports on progress of the 18 projects AClAR is currently supporting in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands.
