Submit Expert Details

Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) is building an expert database on the different disciplines and research areas, which is linked to integrated rural development (IRD).

Please fill in the form as completely as possible. We would appreciate it if you could follow the guidelines carefully, spell check your entries and invest some time in making your profile as good as you can. Your response will be edited and sent back to you for confirmation before publication. Twice a year you will be invited to review and update your profile.

Listing in the database is by invitation from the CIRDAP Secretariat or nomination by partner institutions. You can submit the form below as a Microsoft Word document to icd@cirdap.org . For a faster submission on an online form, please visit: www.cirdap.org. If you have any questions or queries write to icd@cirdap.org keeping cc communication_officer@cirdap.org.

  • Please email your personal photo as a separate .jpg file to icd@cirdap.org, The last thing is to provide a portrait photo of yourself (head and shoulders). We are aiming for a 'smart casual' look on the website, so please SMILE in the picture and avoid suits and dress uniforms. We want a photo of you looking relaxed and happy (NOT your passport photo). A nice background such as a garden, your lab or office would be a plus. Traditional dress and wetsuits are ok! Adding a photo will increase your profile views.
