Champions - are those individuals, often from the research or policy communities,  who have demonstrated a commitment to  strengthening WDM principles and practices in the region through their direct and ongoing participation in the work of  IDRC and WaDImena.  They promote WDM with their colleagues, foster an environment for capacity development of WDM in the work place  and raise critical issues with their superiors (e.g. government Ministers).
