SAGA Progress Report
April 2004
I. INTRODUCTION
The past six months have been highly productive, as we have been engaged in a
broad range of activities in all three components of the project: research, technical
assistance and competitive grants. At the same time, we have been operating without any
funding for the third year of the project. The lack of funds is causing deleterious effects
on our program. We are both having difficulty bringing to fruition activities already
planned, and perhaps more problematic, have been forced to disengage from some
planned activities. The latter has worrisome implications because of the high costs of
start-up for the demand driven research and technical assistance agenda.
In this mid-year progress report, we therefore concentrate on briefly reviewing
past and future activities. We do so with a great deal of uncertainty, as the funding
situation has both slowed the pace of activities during the previous six months and makes
planning for future activities difficult. We are hopeful, based on recent conversations
with USAID, that we will receive a quick disbursement of the third project-year of
funding and a return to nearly the levels as stipulated in our Agreement.
For more details on the specifics of activities in each country, the last annual
progress report should be consulted as such information is not reproduced here. Since
there has been little new added to the planned activities, given the budget constraints, in
this report we have chosen to focus on statistics related to the SAGA website. This is a
new component of our progress report, and we welcome your feedback or questions on
the information presented.
