Dissemination of technologies is key for APPSA as the project development objective (PDO) is to increase the availability of improved agricultural technologies in participating countries in the SADC region.

All APPSA R&D subprojects are subject to quality review through a peer review process. This tri-fold brochure describes the process.

As part of sensitization and stakeholder engagement efforts, the project team under APPSA Lesotho led by the safeguards held one-day workshops with the local authorities of Siloe and Machache on the 21^st February 2023 and 01^st March 2023 respectively. The objective was to inform the community councils and chiefs about preparations made towards the construction of infrastructure works on the research stations located under their jurisdiction.

Goats have a key role in ensuring food security and economic livelihood to smallholder farmers in rural areas. Women play a vital role in goat rearing, promoting economic autonomy within households. Indigenous goats dominate and are of high significance due to their adaptive traits that are relevant for climate change and low maintenance. However, lack of emphasis on farmer-centered technology development and proper breed characterization remains a hitch to sustainable utilization and breed development of indigenous goats. This can be overcome through proper linkage between market and production, workable regional and national agricultural policies, community breeding programs, collaborative research work within the region, and consistent government support.
