EEP visits Thailand

In late June two members of the PD/A CRSP External Evaluation Panel (EEP), Kevan Main and David Cummins, undertook the first of three site visits to CRSP research sites. The two visited the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), located in Pathumthani, Thailand, where they visited with CRSP researchers, students, and extension agents associated with AITs aquaculture program. They also visited Udorn Thani, where they met with farmers and researchers who are part of a collaborative outreach program between the CRSP and the Thai Royal Department of Fisheries. Participating EEP members Main and Cummins were joined by PD/A CRSP Director Hillary Egna and PD/A CRSP USAID Project Officer Harry Rea.

This site visit is part of the five-year in-depth review process required by BIFAD (Board of International Food and Agriculture Development) guidelines. The EEP will also participate in site visits to the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia Peruana and the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonia Peruana in Peru in September 2000. In November, the EEP is scheduled to visit institutions in Kenya, including Sagana Fish Farm, Moi University, and the University of Nairobi.

The review process will continue through the program annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, in January 2001.fish
