ASARECA, the association for strengthening of research in East and Central Africa,  has undergone substantial changes since 2005. PICO’s role as change consultants and facilitators reached from facilitation of strategic planning to design and facilitation of the change process from research networks to a programme approach and all the resulting organisational adaptations and operational planning. Further to the foundation of the reform, PICO has been involved centrally in development of the programme strategies, operationalisation of the capacity development and partnership unit as well as facilitation of a range of meetings and workshops.
