APN Networking and Capacity APN Networking and Capacity Building ProgrammeBuilding Programme
APN developing countries who were considered to have the least scientific capacity or the weakest links to the regional research community were “targeted
countries” in the APN N&CB programme

APN Capacity Building ActivitiesAPN Capacity Building ActivitiesRegional workshops
(East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia) has allowed participants to:
gain an overview of global change issues from international organisations
identify regional priorities
pinpoint promising project proposals for submission to APN (and/or other funding agencies)
Note: care should be taken, given current proposal funding levels, not to raise proponents expectations too high f
or receiving funding

APN-APEIS BackgroundAPN-APEIS Background APEIS introduced as a new activity at 6th APN
Inter-Governmental Meeting (IGM) in 2001
IGM agreed to support APN’s participation at the joint APEIS/MA workshop at the UNU in September 2001
UNU workshop identified the role of APN in APEIS
![Page 17: Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a68550346895dc7b41d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
APN’s role in APEISAPN’s role in APEIS
To provide synthesis of APN’s past and present research outputs
To co-organise a series of joint capacity building workshops on integrated monitoring and assessment
![Page 18: Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815a68550346895dc7b41d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Workshop ObjectivesWorkshop Objectives (from an APN perspective)(from an APN perspective)
To develop the capacity of APN member countries on integrated monitoring and assessment
To facilitate regional research cooperation on integrated monitoring and assessment
To contribute to the implementation of APEIS

Global change research is fundamental to the sustainability of the global life
support system and the need for expansion of research-linked capacity
A high priority APN Goal is to improve the scientific and technical capabilities of nations of the region

ConclusionConclusion
is essential
Early signs indicate a successful APN Networking and Capacity Building programme
Systematic approach needs to be developed
Scale of APN Capacity Building activities are proportionate to available funding resources
