This report summarises the findings of the mid-term review of the Bunda College Capacity Building Programme (BCDP), phase III, covering the period 2005–2010. A separate companion report deals with the Agricultural Research and Development Programme (ARDEP). The methodology included perusal of existing documents, meetings with the Project Advisory Committee and qualitative interviews with key Bunda staff. The goal of the BCDP is to enhance the performance of Bunda College as a lead institution in relevant and efficient learning, teaching, research and outreach for the agricultural and natural resources sector of Malawi and to enable the College to play a significant role in the development of the country. The BCDP is essentially an institution-building programme designed to put the College on a solid footing which is sustainable in the long run without external assistance. Institution-building comprises three main components: (a) the external environment; (b) the internal institutional framework; and (c) the financial foundation. |
