A wealth of technologies and information have been generated, research infrastructure developed, and a number of national program scientists trained. SMIP is now in its fourth and final phase, which ends in 2003. The thrust in Phase IV's agenda is to build on past successes, with an emphasis on promoting complementary investments in seed delivery, crop management, grain marketing, and commercialization to stimulate demand for sorghum and pearl millet, in collaboration with a broad range of partners. date: 2000 publication: International Sorghum and Millets Newsletter volume: 41 pagerange: 17-18 refereed: TRUE related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Sorghum+and+pearl+millet+improvement+research+in+the+SADC+region+-+future+needs+and+strategies&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_sdt=1.&a related_url_type: author citation: ICRISAT, - (2000) Sorghum and Pearl Millet Improvement Research in the SADC Region — Future Needs and Strategies.
