"To strengthen essential capabilities and skills for researchers to progress their careers, we have joined forces with Jimma University  and Mekelle University in Ethiopia and the University of Dodoma in Tanzania to scope and establish institutional development programmes for their early career researchers. These partnerships are part of INASP’s cooperation with Norad to provide additional support to researchers at African institutions involved in the NORHED II programme.  "

Researchers across Africa are ambitious, brimming with ideas and eager to make positive contributions to their communities and to a global scientific community. But the life of an early career researcher can be especially challenging. Early career researchers must build a research profile, secure research funding, and navigate the structures and cultures of their institutions and the expectations and demands of academic and professional communities. They must do all of this in research systems under acute strain, building careers in a context of limited resources, high teaching loads, and limited professional training and mentoring.
