1. Setting Information Priorities

Research.

MMRI carries out research in many locations. Most takes place in fields and labs at the central campus near the capital city. Some happens at provincial research stations. More-and-more is being done in cooperation with farmers on their own fields. And some is even done outside the country, as part of cooperative maize research programmes between countries in the region.

Outreach.

MMRI recognizes that its research will only be valuable if it reaches people who can use it. These potential audiences range from farmers, to teachers at agricultural schools and universities, to scientists within MMRI and outside, to managers in agricultural development organizations, to policymakers, to NGOs, and to international donors.

Training.
