PASGR

PASGR is a leading Pan-African research and learning institution which works to enhance research excellence in governance and public policy

[Dr. Arinaitwe Rugyendo 🇺🇬 @RugyendoQuotes]

For ages, designing research projects, academic or otherwise, has been the norm in academic circles. But in Africa, which contributes a mere 1.3% of global research, bridging findings with policy and industry is a sine qua non for building pan-African knowledge economies.

That is exactly why I am in Addis Ababa. How fitting that this happens in Ethiopia, the nation that resisted colonialism and defeated the Italians at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. It is all the more special because it comes as I clock 50.

Research communication is my passion, and it is what we are piloting at @ResearchFindsUg and https://t.co/NYvB0mwG9D.

My sincere thanks to the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (@PASGR_ ) for inviting me to train young African researchers on bridging their research with policy and industry. I thank @MastercardFdn for the support. I am also glad to share my research communication experience and parliamentary communciation across Anglophone and Francophone Africa contexts.

My take on research communication on Day One if the Young Researchers Network workshop for early career researchers here in Addis Ababa.

[PASGR @PASGR_]

Today, our researchers will be taken through academic manuscript development, journal selection, using AI responsibly and presenting findings through research posters and short oral presentations. Follow along for more updates.

What does it take to turn research findings into impactful research outputs? Day Two of our Workshop takes up this question, building on yesterday’s discussions on communicating evidence for policy and professional audiences.

[PASGR @PASGR_]

Participants also explored why engaging communities and policymakers from the outset matters for research uptake. Read our Day One recap here: https://t.co/1AE80R8o1i

“Research should do more than sit in a report. It should inform decisions.” That message shaped Day One of the Young Researchers Network (YRN) Workshop in Addis Ababa. Today’s session had our Research Associates exploring in depth how to turn evidence into consumable assets.

[PASGR @PASGR_]

The workshop brings together 21 young researchers in the AYPS programme for training to strengthen their skills in academic publishing, policy communication, technical reporting and grant development and management. #YoungResearchers #ResearchToPolicy #AYPS #PASGR

Over the next few days, PASGR will be hosting the Young Researchers Network Capacity Strengthening Workshop in Addis Ababa under the theme “Beyond Data Collection: Strengthening Research, Communication, Policy and Grant-Making Skills for Impact.”

Through PASGR’s Utafiti Sera approach, the project connects research, policy and practice to inform more effective, efficient and higher-quality doctoral education. Ghana is one of seven countries participating in the initiative.

[PASGR @PASGR_]

PASGR convened stakeholders at @UnivofGh’s ISSER on Monday to launch the Ghana country study under its PhD Models Project, exploring doctoral training, supervision, funding and candidate experiences to inform higher-quality doctoral education.

[PASGR @PASGR_]

The meeting provided a platform for stakeholder engagement on doctoral training models, supervision, funding and the experiences of PhD candidates, bringing national perspectives into research engagement.

The Wellcome Trust UK awards CCDC and other collaborators a prestigious grant to establish a new Sectoral Hub focused on open evidence-synthesis for addressing health and social challenges with most updated evidence. The CHANGES Hub, a four-year project will help connect Health, climate Action and Net economic Growth through living Evidence Synthesis and AI. It will help transform how evidence is produced, shared and used to deliver outcomes that can help improve people’s lives.

The lead partner is Instituto Veredas from Brazil and other collaborators include institutions from India (Delhi University), Brazil (ENAP- Brazil’s National School of Public Administration, Dadosfera), Kenya (Partnership for African Social & Governance Research (PASGR) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). #EvidenceSynthesis #Health #ClimateAction #NetEconomicGrowth #AI
