Abstract

In many lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) research capacity remains fragmented, uneven and fragile. This book addresses these gaps, capturing insights from 13 teams working on the Global Health Research Initiative, co-led by Canadians and LMIC researchers in several regions of the world, including Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. As well as enhancing skills of individual scientists, research capacity must aim towards strengthening institutional systems that can enable sustained scientific productivity, and extend understanding and development of useful indicators that can capture the impacts of initiatives that have capacity building as their focus.
