INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE ADOPTION OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY IN LDC'S

The general purpose of this paper is to consider some issues and constraints relating to the process of using ASA as an operational piece in the on-going policy decision making process of a developing countries host institution. We shall attempt to elaborate from our experience what some of the constraints on the institutionalization of ASA techniques appear to be and to introduce some notions on how ASA efforts might be modified to alleviate or to better deal with these constraints.
