Notes:
cited reference, The Hague: International Service for National Agricultural Research, May 1990. 8 p. (ISNAR Linkages Discussion Paper No. 5e)., The experience of the Projet Agricole du Centre-Ouest (PACO) in Cote d'Ivoire sows that informal, personal relationships between the staff of different institutes can be vital for technology transfer. 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)
