TRIP REPORT AfricaLink/WARDA Support for Agricultural Research Networking April 1999   WARDA has some $50,000 remaining from its grant of $310,000 from PSGE. WARDA expects to disburse these funds by June of this year. A portion of the funds will be reserved to pay costs for a seminar for coordinators of the WARDA rice task forces, plus the coordinator of WECAMAN, all of whom are based at WARDA. Remaining funds will be disbursed to resolve Internet connectivity problems at problematic sites, such as Nyankpala outside Tamale, home of the Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (SARI), which at present has only a problematic radio phone.
