We would like to thank the BMZ (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche
Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung) and GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Technische Zusammenarbeit) for providing the funds required to implement the
project 'Domestication and Marketing of Indigenous Fruit Trees for Improved
Nutrition and Income in Southern Africa' (Project No. 2001.7860.8-001.00), and
Canadian CIDA for funding the Zambezi Bazin Agroforestry Project (Project
No. 050/21576). We would like to thank our partners - national agricultural and
forestry research and extension organizations, private entrepreneurs and non-
governmental organizations - for collaboration in the project in the four countries.
