By building a sense of task interdependence and a commitment to shared goals, such relationships can help solve problems not addressed through formal linkage mechanisms. However, their contribution is limited by their short duration, and to situations in which the technology to be transferred is relatively simple. Informal links can thus complement, but not substitute for, formal ones. (original)

(ISNAR Linkages Discussion Paper No. 6)., The research-extension liaison services in Nigeria have evolved from a small regional group, attached to a ministry, to an autonomous institute with nationwide responsibilities. The size, mandate and number of clients of the institute have expanded considerably in the course of this evolution. This paper traces the changes in the organizational structure of the liaison services at each stage of their development, and shows how structural factors have interacted with other factors to influence performance.
