The Linking Agricultural Research and Rural Radio in Africa (LARRRA) project is a collaboration of the University of Guelph, the Developing Countries Farm Radio Network (DCFRN), and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Fund for International Development, with national-level partners in Cameroon, Ghana, and Uganda.

The objectives of the project are to strengthen partnerships, both among and between agriculturalists (farmers, researchers, government and non-governmental extension workers) and rural radio broadcasters, for addressing information gaps on food and agricultural sciences using radio stations (government, community or privately owned) that serve resource-poor farmers.
