Role in project
KTU will provide inputs into the development of the project outcomes, using their regional experience of Eastern European RMA into the exchanges of good practice and building of individual and institutional RMA capacity. KTU will help in the development of 1) the content of a postgraduate diploma course for RMAs; 2) An accreditation route for RMA professionals; 3) the development of a Masters in RMA curriculum for the SADC region. Staff and travel costs for your participation in these activities have been included in the budget. 4) Focus on RMA staff and information exchanges across the SADC and EU regions involved, for the exchange of good practice, developing mutual understanding. KTU staff will participate in a survey and benchmarking exercise, in order to develop a good shared framework for institutional RMA structures, and to identify gaps that may exist in current institutional or individual RMA capacities. Staff exchanges (internships and mentorships) will form part of this activity.
