The capacity building mission of the SIRCA Program embraces professional support and career formation for emerging ICTD researchers. A mentorship model was developed within the SIRCA Program where a Principal Investigator (PI) was linked to a senior researcher (Mentor) who would provide continuous guidance, support, direction, and professional networking opportunities throughout the PI’s project. It was hoped that the Mentee benefited from this interaction with an experienced researcher whilst gaining confidence and skills to contribute to the field of ICTD through rigorous research, publications, dissemination, and collaboration with the Mentor.
Under this program, there are a total of 10 mentors supervising 13 projects.
