The program accumulated over US $1,460,000 in interdisciplinary research and development grants and contract. This has enabled the publication of over 300 articles, reports, training manuals, workshops. Nearly half of these are in internationally refereed journals. The projects typically address the multiple facets of sustainable development, including environment, livelihoods and policy. They involve interventions at the community level jointly conducted by faculty members and graduate students. They result in significant academic outcomes, such as PhD and MS theses, journal articles and conference presentations. Additionally, these projects act as an enabling framework between the university, local governments and the business sector.
