Abstract:
This is an interim brief of the findings of the first phase of the Irish-African Partnership for Research Capacity Building (IAPRCB) stakeholder consultation. The stakeholder consultation, a core activity of the project, has a dual aim. First, it aims at identifying the opportunities and constraints to research capacity building (RCB) for development within the project’s 13 partner universities, and second, it aims at identifying the riority research themes within health and education both within partner universities and as identified by other key stakeholders. This first phase of the research is focused on RCB within the IAPRCB’s 13 partner universities. The research sought to elicit the views of administrators and researchers within the 13 universities on the opportunities and constraints to RBC at both individual and institutional levels within their institutions, together with their views on the key emerging themes in health and education research within their universities. This interim report brings together the key findings from this research.
