click here to download full report (Adobe pdf 1.3mb)A six month project to help FAO develop a proposal for a strategic programme for information in support of sustainable livelihoods through relevant policies, institutions and processes. The preparatory project included discussions with staff in DFID and FAO, a desk study of relevant literature and web sites and field trips to India, Uganda and Ghana. In the end, DFID decided not to fund the proposed project, although a summary of the results were presented during FAOs 2nd Consultation on Agricultural Information Management in September 2002, and were reformatted for a wider audience on the FAO web site. The full results were also published as an annotated bibliography in November 2003.
