General

The university would use a regional approach to assess the need for postgraduate distance education in agriculture and natural resources in order to ensure a strong foundation for this initiative and to better understand gaps in distant learning agriculture capacity at the university level. The assessment would determine what M.Sc. programs the university should offer; the technology needs of our partners; and the existing CGIAR learning resources that could contribute to the university. Preliminary needs assessments have been undertaken in South Asia, East and Southern Africa, and Southeast Asia.
