Abdoulaye Djimdé

WP6: Capacity Building is led by Abdoulaye Djimdé (USTTB/Mali) and co-led by John Amuasi (KNUST/Ghana)

WP6 concerns capacity developments of the African study sites. WP6 will supervise the harmonization of the site by identifying the gaps and allocating the resources to mitigate. This goes hand-in-hand with upgrading of infrastructure and equipment. WP6 deals with the organization of short trainings in GCP, data management, entomology and laboratory analysis and with long-term degree (work-oriented) training (MSc and PhD level) by putting in place a mentorship program. Training in soft skills like paper and grant writing will be offered. WP6 will interact with WP2, WP3, WP4 and WP5 and will facilitate the short-term trainings and provide supervision for the MSc and PhD researchers.
