| Training |
|
In terms of formal education, 5 master’s candidates have been matriculated through Egerton University in Kenya. These students are the main field data collectors for the project. In addition, 3 Ph.D. students are being trained. One student. a Kenyan, is studying pastoral development and marketing at the University of Kentucky. Another has matriculated at Cornell University in economics and systems analysis. An Ethiopian student, D. Solomon, formerly active with the SR-CRSP, has completed his degree in range science at USU in 1999. Finally, three post-doctoral students are working on the project. Post-docs are conducting and supervising field work in the region.
Informal training will include regionally organized workshops. Workshops will be attended by a broad spectrum of participants, including team members, students, and development professionals affiliated through the project’s liaison network. Extensive outreach through CRSP-NGO collaborations are projected, through later fundraising efforts, to intensify interaction with local communities. Modalities for enhancing community involvement and providing appropriate training are emerging as the project develops.
