13 Challenges Availability of CARTA committee members for participation in CARTA activities Heavy work loads for some fellows Restrictions by age and other requirements by CARTA for admission in the CARTA programme Limited funding for CARTA Committee UoN intended to prepare a work-plan of activities as recommended in the retreat but the work-plan must have resources to implement which initially CARTA should provide

14 What CARTA can do to ensure Sustainability
Focus should change from fellows to the Faculty and mentoring the faculty taking them thorough JAS type training with their PhD students to enable them progressively take over Current model is inappropriate Greater collaboration with Northern partners with partnering Southern universities

15 Way Forward Enhancement of the research capacity of the faculty of participating departments at UoN Increased financial support to the CARTA committees in the partnering universities Greater collaboration with Northern partners with partnering Southern universities
