One notable limitation to research output in Africa is the low quality of proposals submitted by early and mid-career scientists from African research centres and universities.
The series of workshops aims at training participating African scientists on proposal development techniques, to boost their capacity in competing for research grants and ultimately raise research quality and output in Africa.
