Yhteenvetona • Kehitysyhtesityöhankkeet ja

North-South-South –hankkeet ovat täydentäneet toinen toistaan

• Kehitysyhteistyön osaaminen on lisääntynyt suomalaisten korkeakouluopiskelijoiden ja -opettajien keskuudessa, suomalaista kestävään kehitykseen pohjautuvaa osaamista on myös voitu viedä kehitysmaihin

* Verkostoyhteistyössä ovat koulutus, T&K –toiminta ja kansainvälisyys integroituneet toisiinsa
