Abstract

The Sorghum and Millet Improvement Program (SMIP) has been working with national programs and other partners in the SADC region for the past 17 years to develop and disseminate sorghum and pearl millet technologies. 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.
