CEGA & NIERA Launch CIDR Survey

CEGA and NIERA are excited to announce the release of our Collaboration for Inclusive Development Research (CIDR) Online Survey

The survey will involve questions pertaining to African scholars’ inclusion in research, and barriers/opportunities across different touch-points: higher education, training and mentorship, co-authorship and publication, and evidence use. Results from the study may 1) identify the mechanisms by which the inclusion of African scholars drives better research and policy outcomes; 2) identify the barriers to inclusion along the education to research to policy pipeline; and 3) test the effectiveness of various strategies designed to promote inclusion for African scholars.

Please consider taking this survey if you work in, fund, study, or conduct rigorous development-related research (e.g. economics, public health, quantitative social sciences, etc) that intends to inform policy.

The survey is anonymous, and should take about 30-45 minutes to complete. We provide the option to participate in a follow-up interview; in this case, we would ask for your name. We are interested in the responses from those living in sub-Saharan Africa as well as those from other regions.

The deadline to respond is February 15, 2024.
