A deep dive into the 2024 Research4Life Country Connectors effort
The Country Connectors 2024 Annual Report is now available highlighting the goals driving the Research4Life Country Connectors and detailing the specific countries involved and their unique contributions and challenges. The Research4Life Country Connectors work is a testament to our commitment to enhance access to information for our stakeholders in low- and middle-income countries and foster the necessary skills for effective information use and management.
Expanding our global footprint: Bhutan to Honduras
In 2024, we strategically intensified and expanded our reach by implementing work in a diverse array of countries, including Bhutan, the United Republic of Tanzania, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Senegal, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), El Salvador, Kyrgyzstan, Uganda, and Angola. Additionally, by the end of the year, we successfully initiated formal engagements with Honduras, further enhancing our network.
Our efforts have marked a pivotal period for the Research4Life Country Connectors initiatives across all fourteen participating countries. Our concerted efforts focused on increasing resource usage, resolving user queries locally, enhancing local communication, strengthening the ambassador network, and engaging key stakeholders have significantly advanced our commitment to fostering research accessibility and building local capacity.
We invite you to explore this report as we reflect on our achievements, acknowledge the challenges we have faced and that still lie ahead, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a more equitable research environment. Together with so many others in the Research4Life community, we aim to ensure that scientific knowledge serves as a catalyst for empowerment and progress in the communities we serve.
