description: National agricultural research systems (NARS) in African countries have evolved since independence  was gained in the 1960s (Hazell et al., 2003). Structural adjustment in the 1980s and partnerships  with institutions in the north and the south have guided further development. Within recent times,  the NARS concept was expanded to the agricultural knowledge and information system (AKIS) and  subsequently the agricultural innovations system (AIS) concepts (Table 1). Many African institutions  have grappled with the change processes necessitated by this evolution and incentivised by muchneeded  funding support (Lynam et al., 2004). The guiding principles influencing research funding  were often crafted at global level, with the assumption of their relevance or adaptability for all  African NARS
