Status  
Stated Role At Independence in 1991, this department was originally known as the Department of Agricultural Research and Training (DART) under the University of Asmara. It established three research sites at Imbatkala, Halhale, and Abarda. which focused on crop, livestock, and forestry research, as well as vocational training in agriculture. <P>In 1995, DART’s mandate was broadened to include extension, while its training component was transferred to another MOA department. As a result DART was renamed the Department of Agricultural Research and Extension (DARE). Further restructuring occurred in 1996 and again in 1997, when DARE was renamed the Department of Agricultural Research and Human Resource Development (DARHRD).<P>
