  12. Key areas where Universities support Governments • Universities are human resource providers, governments are end-users of university undergraduate programs • In-service training – Masters degree programs, short courses and workshops are relevant for government staff • Qualified University staff often sit on government technical committees and working groups and assist with policy development • Universities provide research resources for government programs on priority emerging infectious diseases
