The authors argue that promoting participation in linkages of small farms and small agroindustrial businesses will have a strong impact on employment and incomes of the poor.

Anyone interested in attending the workshop should contact the African Media Program at the Center for an application. The Berkeley-Stanford Joint Center for African Studies invites scholars in all disciplines to participate in their Annual Spring Conference on April 25, 1998.

The Kellogg Institute for International Studies, dedicated to advancing research in comparative international studies, will offer up to six residential fellowships of one or two semesters at the University of Notre Dame for the 1998-99 academic year. While the Institute has emphasized Latin American research, proposals for projects on Europe, Asia, and Africa will be considered. The Institute seeks scholars from any country, but candidates should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in any discipline of the social sciences or history.
