Please join the African School of Economics, Innovations for Poverty Action, University of Nairobi, and Université Norbert Zongo for the following virtual workshop:
Locally-Grounded Research: Strengthening Partnerships to Advance the Science and Impact of Development
December 14th & 15, 2021
7:00am DC / 12:00pm Ouagadougou / 3:00pm Nairobi
This virtual workshop will be held in both English and French, with translation available.
More needs to be done to expand the engagement of researchers from low- and middle-income countries in development research. But what are we learning about the emerging best practices for engaging researchers? From mentorship, to network building, from targeting funding to strengthening the pipeline of researchers, what are we learning about what works? And where should we increase our focus?
In this two-session, interactive event, individuals from a range of universities, research and policy institutions, and funding organizations are invited to share what they are learning about how to create greater opportunities for locally-grounded research to inform policy impact and scientific advancement.
We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
