Informal Education
Diabetic Association of Bangladesh provides online education through a project called Distance Learning Program (DLP). It involves a remote course designed with a view to developing manpower in the field of diabetes throughout the country. The course was introduced in collaboration with the Open University, UK in 2004. It is a 6-month course with two sessions: January-June & July-December.
Collaboration with AFASSA
As per collaboration with AFASSA, ANRAP keeps a small amount of money to provide subsistence allowance to young scientists or postgraduate students if they come from Africa or South America to an ANRAP participating laboratory in Asia. AFASSA is supposed to bear their travel expenses either from its own fund or from some other sources. Although two Fellowship possibilities had been discussed: one from Cameroon to Dhaka and one from Mauritius to Karachi, none of them worked out.
