In WAXI stage 3, we established a partnership with ASDM a Luxembourg-based NGO working in Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the demand for training and research opportunities has only increased, we have launched an independent not for profit company based in Perth, Australia to undertake and develop these activities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1605262881497{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/goodwish.qodeinteractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/page-img-about-1.jpg?id=13912) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21537","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21537"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21798,"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21537\/revisions\/21798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tectonique.net\/agate_dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
