CARISCA Concept Note Generated by ASU and KNUST
Following a Call by USAID through the Building Research and Innovation for Development: Generating Evidence and Training (BRIDGE-Train) program, ASU and KNUST came together to develop a concept note to apply for funding. ASU and KNUST based on their existing relationship of over 5 years in Supply Chain, developed a concept note to drive research and its translation into action as well as train professionals in supply chain. The concept note went through several processes to finally get the funding award.
