OAR@ICRISATInstitutional Learning in Technical Projects: Horticulture Technology R&D Systems in IndiaAHallauthorNClarkauthorSTaylorauthorV RSulaimanauthorThis paper demonstrates the way in which institutional learning has been adopted by a post-harvest technology research project in India to cope with the institutional constraints associated with various public agencies, as well as to help formulate broader lessons for institutional reform in horticultural R&D systems.
