As part of our commitment to expanding knowledge production and strengthening research capacity, IGHD, in partnership with the Catholic University of Guinea-Bissau, in March, 2026, supported a three-day training workshop for 12 enumerators and 4 field supervisors who will contribute to a national Research Capacity Assessment in Guinea-Bissau. Led by IGHD's Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) Associate, Dr. Almakio Phiri, the training equipped participants with practical skills in ethical research practices, data collection, interviewing techniques and digital research tools, laying the groundwork for the generation of high-quality evidence to inform future #health and #development priorities. This initiative reflects our broader vision for 2026 and beyond: strengthening local research ecosystems, building institutional capacity, and ensuring that countries have the skills, systems, and evidence needed to shape their own development agendas. Through partnerships with universities, researchers, policymakers, and communities, we're working to promote research excellence, evidence-informed decision-making, and sustainable development outcomes across Guinea-Bissau and beyond. We are grateful to the Catholic University of Guinea-Bissau, Dr. Magda Robalo , and all participants whose commitment and enthusiasm are helping build a stronger future for research and innovation in Guinea-Bissau. #IGHD #ResearchCapacity #CapacityBuilding #GuineaBissau #GlobalHealth #EvidenceForDevelopment #KnowledgeProduction #ResearchEcosystems

🌍 Academic mobility is often celebrated, yet who can move and whose knowledge counts remain deeply unequal. In a new blog post, @tugay_durak, @LuOesch & Didier Ruedin reflect on how to move toward a fairer academic landscape 🎓 #KnowledgeProduction go.shr.lc/3YxuOvA

Some public discussions on the recently published book by @NaomieNishimwe offer a strong evaluation of the @Rwanda_Edu language and literature curriculum perhaps enough for the Ministry to take notice of the existing literary, cultural, & structural gaps.” #KnowledgeProduction

Thanks @FactsOnRwanda for the brochure. Can @Uni_Rwanda or in partnership with @Makerere open a call for papers on this topic to combine oral sources with existing research? Moving from oral tradition to scientific documentation is key. #KnowledgeProduction

📽️ Day 1 Recap — Frantz Fanon Centennial Conference Day 1 of the Frantz Fanon Centennial Conference opened with powerful ideas, sharp reflections, and a shared sense of responsibility to revisit the legacy of Fanon, 100 years later, with honesty, urgency, and imagination. From the keynote address to the first panels and roundtables, today we asked difficult questions about identity, liberation, power, protest, democracy, and what it means to confront the unfinished work of decolonisation in Africa. And what a privilege to hear scholars, activists, writers, and young thinkers respond with passion, critique, and clarity. This conference is not just commemoration, it’s dialogue, challenge, dissent, imagination. It’s Fanon alive in thought, speech, argument, laughter, disagreement and hope. Day 2 continues today. The conversation deepens. #Fanon100 #FanonAt100 #CDDWestAfrica #Decolonisation #AfricanThought #KnowledgeProduction #AcademicCommunity #CentenarySeries #FanonLives

When studying any sector of Zambia’s economy, you mostly rely on foreign or foreign-sponsored local publications. It’s like our money—whether at Boma, private, or individual level—rarely goes into producing knowledge about our own society. #Zambia #KnowledgeProduction

Looking at the vast canvas of debates concerning what is knowledge and how knowledge has always been intertwined with the political, cultural and social processes one realizes that the task of framing the South Asian Knowledge Systems (SAKS) is more than merely reproducing what was produced in this part of the world. It is neither about uncritically using those knowledges nor about restricting it to a mere past. It is about looking at knowledge production as a continuous process and making sense of how to read the knowledges produced in the South in context of their own space and time.

Mr. Banza was among the first Rwandans to adopt digital illustration as a medium of communication, starting out as a creative entrepreneur through his company 𝐼𝑛𝑘𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛; now Mr. Banza aspires to. focus on his own creations and thus becoming an artist. Though he masters many visual arts like graphic design and animation, he remains committed to a practice he has been experimenting with ever since he could hold a pencil, illustration. The evolution of his style marks the need for him to gather his dearest interests like Precolonial African Cultures, Science-fiction, and Geometry into a singular form of expression that he calls his “𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔.” “𝐷𝑜𝑙𝑝ℎ 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑧𝑎’𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑅𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑛 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑦, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑐 𝑎𝑟𝑡.” 𝐉𝐞𝐩𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚, 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫.
