That is what we learnt from a research dissemination experience we had in Abuja earlier this year. The research dissemination event was attended by about 60 people including representatives of the […]

But how can the inertia and lack of interest that stakeholders often have at this stage be overcome? We provide two […]
Utafiti Sera, a work in progress, supports, contributes to building and enhances a community of researchers and policy actors working together to ensure that appropriate and negotiated policy actions and uptake occur through programmes, legislations, policies or administrative and other forms of civic actions around issues for which research has provided evidence or for which […]
