WHO WE ARE

The Secretariat provided overall project support including: project management, financial accounting, administration and logistics, legal services, economic analysis and sector research. The Secretariat was physically located at Ottawa.
As of March 31, 2004, the Seed Alliance Associations will maintain the website to enable access to the report and to support Survey III.
