IRRI report now available online

The Report of the Director General 2002-03 is now available online via the IRRI web site at www.irri.org/science/progsum/pdfs/dgreport2003/2002-2003 degrep.pdf. This annual publication contains research progress in 2002 organized by project.

Each project file contains a brief summary, highlights of achievements in 2002, and a summary of next step activities for 2003. Partner institutions and IRRI contacts are also provided for each project.

The Report of the Director General also contains some sections that used to be in the annual program report before that publication was discontinued.

These include the annual listing of staff publications and seminars, accomplishements in research support services, memoranda of agreement, special-funded projects, staff honors and awards, staff changes, degree and postdegree training, finances, the weather summary and the complete IRRI staff list.

IRRI and the Intenational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), together with the national agricultural research and extension systems in five countries of Southeast Asia, are currently undertaking a collaborative project on sustainable food-feed systems and improved livelihoods of the poor in rainfed lowland areas.
