The Shastri Applied Research Project ran from 2002-2006 and supported 19 three-year collaborative research initiatives.

“Designed with working professionals and new graduates in mind, the MACD-I will build and develop your capacity to become a successful leader in forging social and economic change, working within, or in partnership with, development organizations.”
The University of Victoria has forged a unique partnership with the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) to create and deliver this program. The MACD-I is founded on the assumption that effective collaboration is required to foster transformative leadership, and that theoretical foundations of community development must be complemented by practical insights from experts in the field.
