In January 2016, blomeyer & sanz participated in a workshop organised by the Global Development Network (GDN) in Hanoi, Vietnam. The workshop brought together research institutions and universities from Ethiopia, Bhutan, Vietnam and Cambodia in light of the GDN programme ‘Building Research Capacity in Least Developed Countries’. During three days, participants discussed programme activities, progress-made and the future of institutional capacity building in developing countries.

blomeyer & sanz was contracted by GDN to conduct the programme’s final evaluation and attended the workshop to reflect with the participants on the effectiveness and impact of the efforts made by the teams. More information on the workshop can be found here.
