摘要

The objective of the Regional Agriculture Sector Training and Capacity Building Needs Assessment was to identify training and capacity building needs for the university faculties of agriculture in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Over a period of four weeks in November 2003, the assessment team visited six faculties of agriculture and one faculty of science in the three countries as well as number of agriculture related organizations. There has been significant growth of faculties of agriculture in the region with many of the characteristics and problems that are symptomatic of African higher education in general. The needs for training and retooling in the African university faculties of agriculture are great.
