Partnership Programme

The objectives of this programme is to encourage and support collaborative research among Key Institutions, and to encourage and support organizational development, including infrastructure and skills development activities among Key Institutions.

Key Institutions will pursue active partnerships to collaborate on research or organizational development activities that have mutual benefits to the participating institutes. The participating institutions will formulate a proposal to the Childwatch International Board for consideration. When approved, a memorandum of understanding will be developed between the participating Key Institutions.

It is encouraged that the costs implied by this programme are to be distributed between the participating Key Institutions and Childwatch International.

Programme will have a diversity of specific outcomes, including development of stronger Key Institutions with specific reference to the two programme objectives, active regional, national and international research networks, collaborative research projects among Key Institutions. It could also result in child research publications, staff development and ultimately have an impact on practice, policy and legislation affecting the quality of life of children.
