Training is one of the ways CABI provides benefits to Member Countries.
“Researchers who participate in this training and use the skills to communicate their findings will be in a better position to influence policy, contribute to the development of their communities, enhance their public visibility, increase citations of their publications by other researchers and enhance their likelihood of being found by potential partners.
“Their countries and communities will benefit from increased opportunities to make evidence-based policies and decisions.”
