This paper reviews the development of the Sorghum and Millet Improvement Programme (SMIP) highlighting the establishment and evolution of priorities relating to crop productivity and utilisation that ultimately contribute to household food security. Within this context, the paper examines the role of the regional research institute and its response to the varying needs of the ten SADCC countries.
