RIU - Research Into Use
 
 
Asia

RIU is active in Asia through a number of programmes which were funded under the Asia Innovation Challenge Fund (AICF). The AICF included 13 projects spread over:

  • Bangladesh
  • Cambodia
  • India
  • Nepal
  • Vietnam

In late 2009 the work in Asia was consolidated into three themed programmes:
  • Theme 1 explores establishing seed delivery systems and promoting capacities for participatory crop improvement
  • Theme 2 relates to innovation in value chains
  • Theme 3 relates to scaling up of natural resource management research products.

The RIU database of RNRRS research results also contains information about research which has been developed or applied in six Asian countries. The numbers in brackets denote the number of pieces of research.


To explore RIU work in these countries via the Natural Resources Knowledge Database, copy the country name - taking care to use quote marks around names formed of more than one word - and paste into the database search box.

Ian Maudlin, RIU Director, introduces Research Into Use, explains its aims and outlines the impacts the programme hopes to achieve. November 2009 (3:55)   RIUtv
