This annual report is intended to provide insights and suggestions for strengthening and enhancing the Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture (PD/A) Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) from an overall program perspective. The annual External Evaluation Panel (EEP) review also offers an objective perspective for decision making on important and sometimes difficult institutional issues. The review more specifically provides an opportunity to: identify constraints; examine the priority setting process; report any problems relating to program performance, status and progress; probe issues relating to program representation and participation; identify gaps in programming; judge the balance and relevance of projects to program goals and budgets; report on future planning and evaluation activities; and examine linkages and networks that can lead to broadening program impacts and benefits. The purpose, process and reporting of the EEP are described in the AID publication, Guidelines for the Collaborative Research Support Programs, June 1985. This review covers the period January 1995 to January 1996.
