Abstract
The initiative supports 19 research teams (13 in East Africa; 6 in West Africa) to encourage Africa-Canada collaboration in projects to improve maternal and child health (MCH). This mid-term formative evaluation identifies strategies that can inform and strengthen IMCHA’s implementation until the end of the initiative, as well as speak to related future activities. There was a wide range of types of collaboration, with some involving capacity-building efforts, and others involving complementary expertise and bi-directional knowledge flow. Over 80% of survey recipients said that the relationship between the African principal investigators (PI) and Canadian co-PIs was a collaboration of equals.
