This paper offers an account of the experience and accomplishments of the Sasakawa-Global 2000 Agricultural Project in Sudan. Between 1986 and 1992, project staff worked closely with the country's extension service within the Ministry of Agriculture to explore the possibilities for improving wheat production. The Program succeeded overwhelmingly in demonstrating the potential of extension officers for serving as agents of change in food production. It did so primarily by training and supporting them in the use of an effective tool for technology demonstration (i.e., the production test plot program). This experience, in turn, underscored the importance of establishing closer links between extension and research to ensure that innovations emerging from the agricultural sciences reach their intended beneficiaries in the countryside
