Abstract
Learning Forum participants concurred that local communities should be involved in forming research questions so that the research reflects a local agenda. This report provides a synthesis of the Forum’s proceedings which included case-study presentations and group discussion. The Coady International Institute works at the intersection of university and civil society to promote community driven knowledge, leadership and action for change. Discussions regarding community participation in research also touched on the challenges of building local capacity while producing high-quality research. The Coady centre of excellence collaborates with partners in Canada and the global South to reduce poverty and transform societies.
