Collaborate With Us

HRnet welcomes partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to evidence-informed health improvement in Africa. We believe that the most impactful research is built through collaboration — bringing together diverse expertise, perspectives, and resources.

We are open to partnerships at every scale — from joint research projects and co-supervised student programmes to institutional memoranda of understanding and multi-country research consortia.

If you see an opportunity for collaboration, we want to hear from you. Contact us at secretariat@hrnet-africa.org with a brief description of the proposed collaboration.

Academic Institutions

Joint research projects, student co-supervision, shared training programmes, and institutional partnerships.

Government & Health Agencies

Policy-relevant research, health system evaluations, and evidence translation to support decision-making.

Civil Society & NGOs

Community-based research, health education collaborations, and participatory programme development.

International Organisations

Invest in African-Led Health Research

Central Africa remains one of the most underrepresented regions in health research funding globally. Your investment in HRnet directly addresses this gap by supporting locally led research that produces evidence tailored to the region's specific health challenges.

What your funding enables:

Original research on priority health challenges — from infectious disease surveillance to cancer epidemiology and One Health investigations.

Training the next generation of health researchers worldwide through fellowships, internships, and mentorship programmes, with preference given to African researchers and academics with expertise in Central Africa.

Community health impact through outreach, education, and translating research findings into practical health information.

Policy influence by producing evidence that informs national and regional health policy decisions in Central Africa.
