Each issue of the series Highlights: CIAT in Africa is a two-page summary of a recently completed piece of research, or reports significant progress in an ongoing activity. The series, initiated in 2003, is designed to inform policy makers, leaders of research or extension organisations, and key individuals working in R&D for development.
