HRP Alliance in action: Empowering researchers through collaboration in Anglophone Africa
Overview
The HRP Alliance supports research capacity strengthening by bringing together institutions conducting research in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). At the center of the HRP Alliance are seven regional ‘hubs’ to empower and stimulate the research capacity of SRHR partner institutions, providing regional leadership through scholarships, training, fellowships and institutional mentorship.
This story highlights the Anglophone African hub’s successful collaboration with international universities, empowering young researchers by offering a joint Master’s of Science programme with an internationally renowned university. As a result, students are becoming leaders in SRHR research, moving the needle for better understanding of critical SRHR issues.
