Objective and Expected Outcomes
Objective
To help developing country universities enhance their teaching and research of trade, investment and development issues and hence better respond to the training and policy analysis needs of national decision makers. This should ultimately lead to the strengthening of national capacities to formulate and implement home-grown economic policies
Expected Outcome 1
Development of up-to-date specialized generic teaching materials on issues of priority interest to the participating universities
Expected Outcome 2
Increased capacity of universities to develop their own localized material using the generic materials as well as their own original research that will help make the materials relevant for their country situations
Expected Outcome 3
Increased S-S cooperation and networking through meetings, online communication and the experience of formulating and conducting joint projects
