This publication summarises learning from FCFA’s scientific capacity development programme of activities, which ran from 2015 to 2019. It provides an overview of the support provided to Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and the main outcomes and learning from implementing the programme. The findings presented here capture feedback from 99 ECRs, their supervisors and FCFA programme coordinators over a period of three years. It provides recommendations for realising the opportunities that international, multi-consortia research programmes present for building the capacity of ECRs.
