Jones Govereh joined FSRP in 1999 as a research fellow. His dissertation research
supported by the International Livestock Research Institute, Kenya and was
on assessing the socio-economic impacts of tsetse control in Zambezi Valley,
Zimbabwe. His research work focuses on how to improve the performance of
input markets in Zambia during its transition towards private sector led,
market-oriented systems. Recent research focuses on the economics of input
use to understand how the development of input supply systems is constrained
by lack of effective demand from farmers.
