SEMCA Announcement - September 2007
14 September 2007

A Community of Practice linking those involved in professional capacity development. SEMCA is dedicated to the transformation of Higher Education in Africa for a new generation of graduates working closely with rural communities to research and produce innovative, sustainable development options and implement changes. This Community of Practice is supported by the UNDP.

SEMCA is a new community of practice that has been established to assist in linking higher education networks, universities, faculties, graduates, students as well as research, policy, development and other agencies all with an interest in capacity development - making research and education more relevant to both smallholders and to the modern, gobalised, knowledge economy. SEMCA derives from a collaboration between EARTH University, the Salzburg Seminar, Noragric and UNDP which held a series of international seminars, SEMCIT,[1] to discuss the changes needed to make agricultural university graduates in the tropics relevant in the 21st Century.
