Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework that can be used by agricultural
leaders, administrators, policy makers, and seed program managers to (1) understand key factors
affecting seed system development; and (2) compare organizational and institutional strategies
for increasing seed system effectiveness. A literature review of recent studies on seed system
development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was undertaken to achieve these objectives. The
studies reviewed included published and unpublished reports, monographs, and case studies.
