Research Capacity Strengthening (RCS) focuses on initiatives designed to enhance the abilities and resources of individuals, institutions, and systems to conduct, communicate, and apply high-quality research efficiently, effectively, and sustainably (UKCDR, 2021). But why is RCS crucial for Africa? Join me at the Kenya National Research Festial tomorrow as I share a funder's perspectives on the overarching research systems that individuals and institutions operate within, highlighting the challenges we've observed and offering solutions to overcome these system-level hurdles.

Is it possible to reach the thousandth scientific publication without starting with the first, second and third? Another accepted paper on rabies in Mozambique will be available very very soon. That's why I call such achievements ‘step-by-step’.

Let’s get it right backed by science

Please check out our new scientific contribution on the functional evaluation of exopolysaccharide produced by Liquorilactobacillus mali.

In the latest episode of Africa Science Focus, scientists explore the potential of collaboration between science and policymaking in Africa. How can evidence-based policies solve our most pressing challenges?

Only one day left to take advantage of our early bird specials! From the 1st to the 6th of September 2024, our conference will take place in Cape Town, South Africa. The African Bioacoustics Community hosts a biennial conference that brings together individuals from around the world interested in bioacoustics. Globally, bioacoustics is a rapidly growing field of research. However, despite access to a wide range of behaviourally interesting and vocal species, unique environments, and increasing development resulting in noise pollution, bioacoustics research in Africa and by African scientists is comparatively lagging. Financial constraints limit the opportunities for African scientists to learn from and network with experts in the field through international conferences, workshops, courses etc. It is our aim to provide opportunities for underrepresented scientists based in Africa to present their research, learn from some of the best in the field, and network with other researchers working on bioacoustics projects in Africa. https://lnkd.in/dTgtMHyi

When Indian diaspora does good the achievement is counted in Indian account. When Chinese diaspora does well the credit is enjoyed by China. Why should we not count the wonderful scientific research done by the African-Americans as the scientific research of the whole Africa? #scientificresearch #africa

We invite all who support assisted natural regeneration to join the Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) Alliance, an international multi-sector coalition of practitioners, researchers, decision-makers, organizations, and funders. It was created in 2022 with the support of World Resources Institute Brasil, Instituto Centro de Vida, Imazon, NICFI and Suzano. The ANR Alliance Strategy has four major components: 1) Build global and regional ANR Alliance platforms; 2) Communicate the opportunity and benefits of ANR practices; 3) Enable supportive policies, financing and incentive structures for ANR implementation both in countries across regions; 4) Build technical and research capacity to identify suitable conditions for ANR and monitor effective practices.
