xiv SUMMARY up from some of the experiences in Uganda. The strategy of providing materials free-ofcharge in large quantities is not sustainable. 5. Developing R&D Strategies for the Highlands and Lowlands. In the high-elevation areas, developing and promoting best cultural practices and marketing improvements are of primary importance. In the low-elevation areas, developing and promoting pestand disease-resistant endemic cultivars is a priority, alongside cultural practices focusing on reviving productivity. To support the success of these efforts, major investments will need to be made in dissemination. Technical change is a continuous, multidimensional process. Social science research can support the decisionmaking of research programs and investors by identifying the impediments that must be addressed to ensure that promising new technologies are in fact widely adopted by farmers. Genetic transformation of the cooking banana offers the rare opportunity to maintain the end-use qualities preferred by East African consumers while enhancing agronomic traits. Given the economic role of the banana plant in the region, the social benefits of technical change will be significant.
