Abstract
For a funder like Research for International Tobacco Control (RITC), attempting to generate research and leadership capacity through a mentorship modality is a relatively risky strategy, especially at a geographical and institutional distance. Much more than other “contracted” arrangements, establishing and growing any one mentorship - and certainly a set of them - in the direction intended by a project, must ultimately be tentative, and dependent on the unique characters and joint motivation of the people involved. The evaluation suggests ways to strengthen the programme and manage some risks.
