A training course on ‘Data collection and analysis’ was
organized in collaboration with national programs participating in the Africa
Rice Breeding Task Force, 12–16 December, in Cotonou, to help rice researchers
adopt good principles of data collection and management, improve the quality
and quantity of their research publications and conduct statistical analyses.
The course targeted scientific staff involved in the design of experiments or
the collection, analysis and interpretation of data from designed experiments
in the Breeding Task Force.
