Strategy and Road Map for Agricultural Science and Technology in Viet Nam ADB RSC C31072 - VIE Background Report for Asian Development Bank March 2003 AGRIFOOD CONSULTING INTERNATIONAL ADB RSC C31072-VIE / Strategy and Road Map for Agricultural Science and Technology in Viet Nam Preface This project report1 is an analysis of the current situation, needs, and potential mediumand long-term strategies to develop agricultural research and extension in Viet Nam The report provides a long-term road map for agriculture research and extension assistance and it will be used as a basis for the development of a forthcoming ADB technical assistance, which will in turn be used as a basis for a proposed investment loan in Agricultural Science and Technology Specifically, the study collected relevant secondary information and data on the current organization and medium- and long-term plans for agricultural research and extension The study undertook a consultative process with stakeholders to outline a vision for the future direction of agricultural research and extension, identify constraints to future development of agricultural research and extension and develop a preliminary set of strategies and roadmap for development of the research and extension system The fieldwork for the study was carried out over four weeks in January and February 2003 The study involved the analysis of background data, key informant interviews, and focus group meetings with international NGOs, bilateral and multilateral aid agencies, government officials, and research institutes involved in agricultural research and technology in Viet Nam The report is the result of a joint effort by the Study Team of Francesco Goletti, Dominic Smith and Tim Purcell from Agrifood Consulting International
