Some Thoughts on Strengthening National Extension Services in Sub-Saharan Africa

摘要

This has been an unusually successful seminar. The discussion has been lively. We have all kept a sense of humor and enjoyed ourselves. The facilities have been excellent. Norman Borlaug has been here to motivate us whenever we began to lag or sag. And the food and hospitality have been extraordinary. Each of you has helped to make it a success, and you are to be commended for your active participation. However, we owe a special vote of thanks to one person in particular for his role in making the seminar a success. He designed the program, lined up the speakers, and asked provocative questions when the discussion started to waver or to get off the track. You know to whom I refer — Chris Dowswell. Let's give him a special vote of thanks.
