13.1d What barriers exist to Global South researchers, including marginalised groups, fully contributing to and participating in international collaborations, and how can these be overcome?
Background
FCDO supports initiatives that strengthen the capacity of research and innovation systems in the Global South to address their own development challenges and create sustainable growth.
This area of research interest explores how to strengthen the capacity and capability of individuals, institutions, governments, and key stakeholder groups to generate, access and use high-quality, locally relevant evidence and insights, and to develop and scale commercially viable products that support wider societal, economic and development impact.
There is a need to address the funding, policy and skills gaps, and consider how systemic barriers to a thriving research and innovation ecosystem can be overcome.
We know that science partnerships that are co-designed with and led by Global South partners can deliver significant impact. We want to understand how bilateral and international collaborations and partnerships can effectively support the development of more equitable, inclusive and sustainable research ecosystems in the Global South.
