The mission of Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD) is to serve as a global platform through which young professionals can express their ideas and realize their full potential towards a dynamic agricultural research for development.

Every four years, YPARD undertakes a review to examine the evolutions in the network and provide suggestions for where further efforts should be concentrated. In May 2017, YPARD commissioned a research team from the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in The Netherlands to undertake the review which will inform the development of the next strategic plan and act as a tool for fundraising. The KIT team currently conducting a survey to get the views from the members. The survey builds upon the 2016 members survey (which was disseminated in January 2017). 

We appreciate if you could help us by responding to the survey. It will only take 5 - 10 minutes of your time. The information is anonymous, but feel free to leave your contact details if you wish to exchange further ideas with the KIT team.

Please give some minutes valuable meaning by responding to the YPARD external review survey from now until 7th July 2017. You can also find the survey embedded below.
