How ODA requirements met Project: Magnetic Separation of microalgae from fish farm water research into the problems of developing countries. address poverty and development issues address the issue identified effectively and efficiently; use the strengths of the UK to address the issue; demonstrate that the research component is of an internationally excellent standard. support research and innovation in two ways: at a country level, increasing the skills and knowledge base and supporting the development of the research infrastructure;

How ODA requirements met at a sector specific level in areas that the partner country has identified as being important for welfare enhancement and economic growth Capacity building should be aimed at improving partner countries ability to undertake and disseminate research in order to maximise its impact on the issues of poverty and their economic growth. Activity in this area can cover pure and applied science and be multi-disciplinary in nature: up-skilling, leadership and management etc The partner country must be able to demonstrate existing or potential ability to grow industry (or other relevant sector) with the capacity to make use of the research, and there should be a clear route into supporting key economic sectors, or addressing development and poverty challenges in the partner country
