Capacity Building
Creating a sustainable environment for conducting high quality medical research is essential to getting Africa in line with the highest international standards.
Promoting high quality medical research goes hand-in-hand with building the required infrastructure and developing tomorrow’s leading African scientists.
Individual Level
Context
Resources are sparse in the field of health research in Africa and the drain of human capital from Africa is one of the biggest threats to its economic development. Populations in Sub-Saharan Africa are craving the knowledge and skills that will give them the opportunity to build their lives locally and contribute to the development of their community.
It is therefore imperative to develop new educational schemes that are both cost efficient, flexible and respond to identified needs of expertise in the employment market.
It is also acknowledged that the need for highly qualified clinical investigators is increasing and flexible training opportunities need to be available to professionals already involved in patient-oriented, epidemiological and other health research activities.
