People

Specialists, experts and project committees

The EFSA Institute contracts specialists and experts in different fields to assist with research and training programmes.
Some of our larger programmes function under the auspices of strong project committees, such as:

the team of associates (steering committee) of the Community Leadership Academy (CLA);
the executive of the National Religious Association for Social Development (NRASD); and
the steering committee of the Church and Business Against HIV and AIDS programme.
