[Primers on CIALs (Local Agricultural Research Committees)] On their own initiative, farmers of the Department of Cauca, Colombia, have taken up agricultural research within the framework of CIALs (Spanish for Local Agricultural Research Committees). They speak of their experiences in a collection of 13 manuals, published by CIAT's Project on Participatory Research in Agriculture (IPRA) and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The 13 volumes are The Trial, Committees for Local Agricultural Research, The Diagnosis, The Trial's Objective, Planning the Trial, Evaluating the Trial, Things that Can Happen, Let's Share the Results of Our Trial, A Real-Life Case, Experience Also Counts, Accounts Clearly Say, It's Good to Know in Time If We're Doing Well, and Guidelines for Knowing Our Way. The manuals are available separately or as a complete set of 13, and comprise indispensable reading for those interested in establishing a CIAL.
