Adoption of improved cassava varieties in Uganda: implications for agricultural research and technology dissemination
Ex ante evaluation of agricultural research for development projects has become important in recent years for priority setting, ex post impact assessment and learning about generalizability to other populations and contexts. We apply farm household and random utility modeling to baseline survey ...

Ex-ante evaluation of cassava research for development in Malawi: a farm household and random utility modeling approach
For quite some time, cassava breeding activities of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Uganda were mainly focused on developing genotypes resistant to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which was the major biotic production constraint since the early 1990s. Although cassava ...

Preliminary results of screening IITA improved germplasm for resistance to Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in Uganda
In 1996, Cassava Mosaic Disease in Western Kenya depressed productivity and de-stabilized markets. The study assesses the effectiveness of breeding and disseminating CMD-resistant varieties in western Kenya by determining the extent of adoption and impact on farmers' income of the new varieties v...
