"Unfortunately, the places most lacking in research funds are often those that need them most, and a society’s own people are the ones best placed to solve its challenges. Rather than imposing their frameworks and culture, the job of funders is to support researchers to take their own approaches." Hannah Ngugi?at the Science for Africa Foundation briefly shares some of the structural reasons that contribute to the severe lack of funding for research in low- and middle-income countries. This is likely quite eye-opening for those of you unfamiliar with research in low-resource countries. But the critical takeaway is not to let these difficulties continue to draw funding away from the places that need it most. As funders and organizations in resource-rich areas, we can and should find ways to work in these environments. Seeding Labs has been taking this same approach for nearly 20 years. While the resources that we provide are non-monetary, the principles underlying how and why we do our work are the same. And I invite you to connect to us to learn more about how you can become a part of the solution. https://lnkd.in/ebsmiXRP
