Technical Assistance and Capacity Building

Technical assistance and capacity-building activities will be provided to members, partners, and relevant stakeholders as a form of human capital development and extension service. These would initially involve the following:

• Travel Grants. Through the SEARCA Travel Grants Program (STGP), researchers from the member and partner institutions will be awarded the grant to present their research conducted under CADRE on SEARCA-initiated or other external events to disseminate its results.
• Staff Exchanges and Mentorship Program. Members will be encouraged to implement staff exchanges for research and capacity-building purposes. SEARCA will also allow member institutions to send selected staff to the Center at their own expense. Visiting research fellows and adjunct fellows can also serve as their mentors, subject to their availability and acceptance.
• Trainings, Seminars, Workshops. These will be conducted as needed or as requested by the members and partners.
