SARSA was a collaborative effort involving Virginia Tech, Clark
University, and the Institute for Development Anthropology (IDA).
SARSA supported research that was related to issues in developing
countries as well as to policy, strategy, and program formulation
for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The primary emphasis of SARSA was on social science research. This
research was aimed at strengthening various indigenous institutions
that enhanced the efficiency of resource use by the private sector.
Also included were institutions that enhanced the income-generating
capabilities of individual households. Two broad research themes
were: rural-urban economic processes, and regional natural resource
management. SARSA directly supported small research projects by
Virginia Tech faculty and graduate students. Through SARSA, many
faculty members and students were able to undertake major research
efforts abroad in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
