SEARCA's Networks and Linkages

Partnerships are at the heart of SEARCA's mission to empower institutions involved in agricultural and rural development across Southeast Asia. Our collaborative approach has led us to engage with a diverse array of academic and research organizations as well as government and development entities, both within and beyond the region. These expansive alliances play a crucial role in driving our robust initiatives, spanning graduate scholarships, institutional development, training programs, knowledge management efforts, and research projects.

SEARCA's institutional partnerships enable us to tap into a vast reservoir of expertise across a spectrum of specialized domains, encompassing the breadth of our priority areas. In doing so, we harness a diverse pool of experts who contribute to the focal points of our work.

Furthermore, SEARCA's extensive network extends to its vibrant community of alumni—a testament to its enduring impact. The ranks of SEARCA graduates and associates (beneficiaries of SEARCA research, professorial chair, and travel grants) constitute a broad and highly skilled professional network.
