ISSAAC (Improved Tree Seed Supply for Agriculture in African Countries) is a project shared by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), Centre for Forest & Landscape Denmark (formerly Danida Forest Seed Centre) and na-tional tree seed centres in 3 participating countries (Burkina Faso, Malawi and Uganda, a survey in Kenya was later added). The overall objective of the project is to improve seed supply to tree planting farmers by establish-ing an understanding of opportunities and constraints for improving seed systems for agroforestry in the selected countries.In each of the countries ISSAAC has looked at different aspects of tree seed systems. In the Burkina Faso survey, the focus was on seed access in villages. In the Uganda survey, the focus was on seed distribution by NGOs; in the Kenya survey, the focus was on seed sources; in the Malawi survey, presented here, the focus was on nurseries.
