CAPRI Change Matrix

Post date: 
Wednesday, May 25, 2022 - 10:21

In keeping with our mission, we wish to engage with a range of stakeholders for input on a shortlist of twelve (12) research proposals, exploring issues we deem critical in today’s society. We believe that consultation with and feedback from you on this research will improve the potential of our work to respond to the needs of vulnerable populations as well as the wider society. In particular, many of these proposals seek to enhance the capacity of civil society organizations to deliver initiatives geared towards development.

At the end of the presentation, attendees will be given the opportunity to provide initial feedback and rank each research proposal put forward.
