Abstract

SANDEE is a donor-funded project based in Kathmandu, Nepal that builds human capital in the field of environmental and resource economics by making small grants to researchers, mentoring these grantees over the life of their research projects, and offering training courses. The purpose of this report is to assess the impact of 8 years of capacity building efforts. These efforts are especially important and noteworthy in South Asia where transboundary academic collaboration has been extremely difficult due to geopolitical tensions. In light of its successes, an important strategic question facing SANDEE is whether it will attempt to scale up its activities.
