Building research capacity
Developing Research Capacity among African Environmental Scientists (DRECA) was an EU-sponsored training programme run by the Tropical Biology Association. AGDF's team coordinated the training in Nigeria over three years, from 2010 to 2012, and developed its training manuals.
The work is recorded in AGDF's experience under both technical assistance and capacity development, and the development of tools and guides.
