Details

The objectives of the GCRF ARUA-UKRI partnership programme were to:

  • build significant capacity for science and research across African universities
  • provide opportunities for African research teams and GCRF grant holders to co-create new projects that build on current investments by ARUA and UKRI
  • build equitable collaborations to strengthen capacity for research, innovation and knowledge exchange in both the UK and Africa

The impact evaluation aims to understand how effectively the programme met its original objectives.

It focuses on the following evaluation questions:

  • what outcomes and achievements has the programme realised to date?
  • what will the likely sustainability and longer-term impacts of the programme be?
  • how did the design and delivery of the programme support or hinder its ability to deliver against its objectives?
