Abstract
The Gr o u n d n u t Germplasm Project (GGP) was ini t iated in 1996 wi t h the pr incipal aim of restor ing the genetic diversi t y of groundnut in West Af r ica and supplying seed of improved varieties t o Nat ional Agr icul tural Research Systems (NARS) and other benef iciar ies. ICRISAT, as Project Execut ing Agency and, in col laborat ion wi t h its par tners ISRA and CIRAD, organized an end-of -project workshop f r o m 22 to 25 Ap r i l 2002 at Bamako, Ma l i . The object ive of thi s wor k shop was to present the remarkable achievements of the project to a wide range of stakeholders and ident i f y fol low-up act ion for a sustainable seed produc t ion and del iver y scheme in West Af r ica. Par t icipants at the workshop were f r o m various spheres, including research and development ( R & D ) , nongovernmental organizations (NGOs ) , the pr ivate sector, and groundnut producers. Project results were presented dur ing the di f ferent sessions, one of wh i c h focused on presentat ions by NARS about groundnut seed suppl y systems in selected count r ies.
