While the initial focus of the project is Kenya and Rwanda there is a vision to extend it to a wider region of eastern Africa. The project is currently analyzing local ecotypes and gene bank accessions of African origin for desirable qualities including drought tolerance and adaptation to marginal soils; biomass production; nutrition content; and their potential to produce seed.

Though I am in East Africa (Uganda) it seems the programme is in Kenya and Rwanda and I am also interested in the pasture.
