  • Development and implementation of excellent academic training in the field of applied development research in the field of natural resource management.
  • Consideration of the joint development of proposals to seek grants to fund collaborative research and training.
  • Encouragement, facilitation and support of capacity building of staff and the institutional development at both Parties, with a focus on innovation systems thinking and participatory methods.
