At UKCDR, we know that research for development needs equitable partnerships. We also know that there are still lessons to learn as we move equity in collaborative research from principles to practice, which will be explored in upcoming UKCDR and ESSENCE on Health Research guidance.
This blog series, ‘Equitable Partnerships: Lessons from Practitioners’, explores the importance of equity, as well as its barriers and enablers. Each blog is written by one or more guest author and provides best practice and learning examples informed by their experience in the field.
The first blog in this series was written by Sandra Alba and Susan Rumisha. Sandra is an epidemiologist based at KIT Royal Tropical Institute in the Netherlands and Susan is a Tanzanian researcher and statistician at the Telethon Kids Institute in Western Australia.
