SUPPORT AND LIAISON OFFICE (SLO)
A Support and Liaison Office in the Netherlands linked
to both Demand Driven Research Programmes was part of the original
proposal to DGIS. The S&LO was granted to ETC in Leusden, by DGIS
for a period of three years (from 1 July 2001 until 30 June 2004). ETC
took over full responsibilities of RAWOO on 4 September 2001.
The main objective of the SLO is the facilitation of an effective implementation
of the Demand Driven Research Programmes; the BRP and the HRP. The specific
objectives are:
- Effective functioning of the Joint Programme Committees (JPC) and
the management and co-ordination units (National Support Secretariat)
of each of the research programmes;
- Adequate provision of information about the programmes, the research
approach as well as the achieved results to Dutch researchers, and
to a broader public in the Netherlands involved in research for development
co-operation;
- Good access to information on relevant knowledge and experiences
in the Netherlands for the Southern participants in the partnership
programmes.
