Agricultural research experts and stakeholders from across Africa have met in Accra to discuss new approaches to collecting agricultural research data to boost national agricultural research systems.
The Agricultural Sciences and Technology Indicators (ASTI) Regional Workshop opened in Accra.
The Workshop formed part of measures by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and its regional partners to create awareness about the ASTI and support long-term institutionalisation of the data collection instrument by countries.
The ASTI is a programme that provides open-source data on agricultural research systems in developing countries.
