Has your RCE undertaken any form of self-evaluation process over the course of this year? If yes, please briefly describe:
a)Criteria/indicators used to assess aspects of RCE work/project:(Character count 300 words):
Work at RCE BMU is carried out on three levels: 1) Service- co-constructing projects with communities designed to usher in desired improvements to the natural environment, the community and the local economy. 2) Project evaluation research, publication and knowledge dissemination. 3) Policy implications studies offered to governmental legislative and implementing bodies. In spite of limitations assessed by the primary collaborating university, RCE BMU has managed to conduct numerous projects as indicated in the 2017 Annual Report. In 2018 we hope to be free from Institutional constraints; as such, we should be able to conduct thoughtful self-reflection exercises.

c)Challenges experiences:(Character count 300 words):
The biggest challenge is to work with the University, yet not let it usurp resources nor re-assign projects to close associates who do not work at the level of integrity, academic quality and community service that we seek to uphold.
