Abstract

Sida supports the development of education in agroforestry in SEAsia. The main objectives are to solidify an effective regional and national (in fi ve SE Asian countries) networking infrastructure and to enhance university lecturers’ capability to teach certain aspects of agroforestry. The aims of the mid-term review are to fi nd out if SEANAFE is on track, draw lessons for the remaining project period and to recommend new directions, where necessary. The three-person mission visited universities in four countries in SEAsia. The team benefi ted from having two members from the region and the third member with broad experience of the region and of the particular program. The project was relatively well on track in certain respects, less so in others. Four out of the fi ve national networks have performed relatively well, while the fi fth was lagging behind in evolution and performance. The sustainability of the regional network in a future without donor support is a concern. Most important, therefore, is to achieve sustainability of results and impact at institutional and national level. The most important recommendation for the remaining period is to revise the budget and streamline planned activities so that a high-quality output of targeted activities can be achieved.
