There were two major goals of the Workshop on Global Change Research in African Mountains. The first was to bring researchers, site managers, stakeholders and representatives of funding agencies together to refine the Global Change in Mountain Regions (GLOCHAMORE) Research Strategy developed under the EU's 6th Framework Programme. The GLOCHAMORE Research Strategy is global in scope and the workshop sought to translate it into an agenda that responds to the realities of highland Africa. The resultant Global Change Research Strategy for African Mountains is focused and realistic and can be used by researchers in their proposals to funding agencies to augment both the volume and the efficiency of funds directed toward global change research.
