Food Security Research Project - Zambia: Second Quarter Report, 2010 (April 2010 to June 2010)

The food security research project  (FSRP) aims to contribute to effective policy dialogue, capacity building, and ultimately an improved agricultural policy environment in Zambia, through collaboration with government and the private sector. It achieves these objectives through in-service capacity building, applied analysis, and policy outreach. A hallmark of the Michigan State University/FSRP approach is the “joint products” approach, whereby training, applied research and outreach are undertaken collaboratively with in-country stakeholders and government counterparts. 

In the second quarter 2010 report, statuses of FSRP activities were presented: public investment allocation for promoting agricultural growth; options for sustainably increasing productivity and incomes; policies affecting input and output markets; consumption behavior of urban and rural households; household impact and behavior; general policy research and outreach support; staff changes; project visitors; most recent research and outreach publications.
