Support units

The World Agroforestry Centre has several support units, including:

• Communications Unit
  Based at our headquarters in Nairobi, but working closely with communication staff in regional offices, this team spreads the word about what the World Agroforestry Centre is doing. The Unit takes care of publications and library services, web publishing, media and public relations.
   
• Training Unit
  With a strong focus on assisting our scientists and their partners to build and strengthen capacity, the Training Unit promotes ongoing learning opportunities that are compatible with our research priorities.

• Human Resources Unit
  Ensuring that our Centre attracts, retains and develops excellent staff is the role of our Human Resources Unit.
   
• Genetic Resources Unit
  Based at our headquarters in Nairobi, the GRU stores and supplies quality germplasm and maintains a nursery and field facility.

• Research Methods Group
  This group provides assistance to the World Agroforestry Centre and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) with research design, data management, analysis and reporting, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
