 A106 RELMA in ICRAF publications
Several resources on this site have been published by RELMA. The following is general information about
all RELMA publications.
The Regional Land Management Unit (RELMA) has been integrated into the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)
to strengthen ICRAF’s
development agenda. RELMA in ICRAF will carry out development work within ICRAF’s East and Central Africa
Region. The ultimate target
group is the small-scale land users. The key clients are extension providers, educational institutions,
decision makers, policy makers, and
other institutions involved in land management and rural development. RELMA publishes various reports
and educational material on topics
relevant for small-scale land users. The publications are developed to be easily understood by the intended
readership, usually extension
agents and others working directly with farmers. The topics cover: Edible wild plants, Useful trees &
shrubs, Agroforestry, Raising tree
seedlings, Fruit & nut production, Water harvesting, and Land management.
Technical Handbooks are educational books on specific topics. Some are general and applicable
for the whole of eastern Africa while
others are developed for a specific climatic or geographic area. Some are larger reference books; others
are field handbooks or small
technical manuals. Technical Pamphlets are small field guides on specific topics, in a local
language or easily read English. Only two
have yet been published in this series and are here listed as field guides. Technical Reports present
results from studies or experiences
of successful projects. The reports are intended for planners and decision-makers at higher levels rather
than field extension agents.
Workshop Reports are proceedings or other documentation from conferences, seminars and workshops. Working
Papers are produced
when the text is of major interest to only a narrow readership or when the content is valuable but the
presentation not adapted to RELMA's
main audience. Sometimes a working paper may form the basis for a future technical handbook.
