courses on General Horticulture, fruit and vegetable productivity
and handling. The two livestock specialists will teach the general
and specialized zootechnology courses, while the forester and the
fishery specialist will take care of courses on organization of
forest production and fisheries, respectively.
On the basis of the curriculum analysis, the Team feels that
these needs are obvious and will be met during the implementation
stage of the project. In this regard, ISP and CAP (Matourkou) have
the same need. Arrangements might be made in the class schedule of
both Institutions to allow the movement of the same teachers from
one place to the other without too much inconvenience for the teacher
and the students. For instance, these courses could be taught on
a quarterly basis.
Recommendations. The Team reconmmends the following technical
assistance to ISP over the five-year life of the project:
1. Long-term advisory assistance
6 person years at $100,000/yr................ $600,000.
2. Short-term advisory assistance
36 months @ S7,500/month .....................$270,000.
While the specific training of the short-term personnel may
vary according to the need and availability, it is recommended that
long-term advisory assistance should include three technicians for
two years each in agronomy, forestry, and livestock (animal husbandry)
(see Annex B.16). The thirty-six person months of short-term advisory
assistance are recommended for ISP in order to supplement the longterm
assistance with specialists in agricultural economics, rural
sociology, fisheries, horticulture, agricultural engineering, soil
science, plant breeding, plant pathology, entomology, and home economics.
The Team, therefore, recommends the following training and
tours forVoltaics over the life of the project:
1. 20 students @ $14,000/year x 3 years ......... $840,000.
2. University tours @ $6,000/year x 5 years ..... $ 30,000.
Itis expected that the 20 students will be sent for M.S.
degrees or the equivalent to schools most appropriate for the needed
specialties. This should start in 1978 with the first group of stu­
