Conteúdo: 	The Eastern and Southern Africa Root Crops Research Network (ESARRN) consists of 11 countries, namely Angola, Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Zambia. This paper summarizes the findings of a survey carried out to establish the status of programmes and priorities of cassava genetic resources within these countries. One of the main activities undertaken by the NationalAgricultural Research Systems (NARS) within these countries is the improvement of local cassava varieties. Overall, information systems are not well developed, with each research programme developing its own. Documentation is not computerized, but planning is underway for a root crops database at the ESARRN headquarters in Lilongwe, Malawi for the NARS in the region. Lack of training is reflected in the lack of passport and ecogeographic data. Most cassava breeding is directed towards improvement of Manihot esculenta, and is carried out in most of the NARS regions. The capacity within these breeding programmes varies from one country to another. The most desired characteristics have been grouped into three levels, the highest level including priorities such aseasy exchange of germplasm among and between MARS and International Agricultural Research Centres.
