Manuals / Guides /Tools

  1. Management of agricultural research: A training manual. Introductory module

This practical manual includes case studies and covers the following areas: research planning, organizational principles and design, leadership, motivation, team building and conflict management, managing human resources, management information systems, computers and network techniques, financial management, research-extension linkage, information services and documentation and institute evaluation. (On-line)

  1. The community's toolbox: The idea, methods and tools for participatory assessment, monitoring and evaluation in community forestry

Community Environmental Assessment is used to gather information in order to analyse the environmental effects of planned and/or completed activities. The tool provides a framework in which insiders can make observations and judge the value of the change. The value is determined by giving a number value to each environmental factor. In this way an environmental score is established.
