The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) finances this project. The overall objective is to increase farmers’ income through the development and dissemination of Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) strategies. It aims specifically at (1) fine-tuning and dissemination of ISFM-technology packages elaborated and tested in the IFAD 1 project, (2) action research for the extension of the ‘menu’ of available ISFM strategies, (3) participatory identification of bottlenecks for ISFM strategies for facilitating dissemination and adoption and (4) capacity building of national agricultural research and extension systems (NARES), NGOs and IFAD rural development projects.
