REPOA Annual Report 2015

This year was the first year of implementation of our Strategic Plan for 2015-19. Responding to changes in the priorities and commitments of development partners, REPOA’s model for financing the plan was reviewed. Under this new model, collaborative research grants will be increasingly emphasized as our primary source of income, and new partnerships on mutually beneficial research projects will continually be sought to diversify our funding base and enhance the sustainability of REPOA’s operations. A new resource mobilization strategy was developed and will be reviewed as new developments unfold. Efforts will continue to mobilize resources from our traditional and non-traditional partners to finance research capacity development, an important public good that is currently under threat.
