Research that works for developing countries and AustraliaOverseas OfficesACIAR has offices in seven countries: China, India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The China office also looks after the DPR Korea, and the India and Thailand offices have regional responsibilities for South Asia and Cambodia, Laos and Burma (Myanmar) respectively. Each office is headed by a Country or Regional Manager. Managers are responsible for liaison, coordination and administration of activities required for the effective management of the Centre's collaborative research program in their respective partner countries/regions. Country managers provide guidance for local research institutions in the development, establishment and administration of collaborative projects, assist visiting Australian project staff and provide general in-country support. ACIAR's overseas offices are an important link between partner scientists in Australia and the relevant overseas research organisations. They also play an important role in the negotiation of the collaborative/partnership framework for ACIAR's program in their respective areas of responsibility, between ACIAR Canberra and in-country Ministries. ACIAR's country/regional managers are contracted employees reporting to ACIAR, based in Canberra. All are supported by one or two administrative staff. Offices are located within the Australian Embassies or High Commissions in the country in which they operate, and maintain a close working relationship with DFAT and AusAID particularly.
