Abstract

ABSTRACTTransnational Global Health programmes planned and financed in the North and executed in the Global South usually involve some transfer of capacity between sites or capacity building in place. Capacity investment in the form of skills, knowledge, experience and equipment is often assumed to ‘flow’ between countries, laboratories and institutions, following the trajectories of mobile subjects in the knowledge economy. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Danish and East African scientists, this paper considers the mobilities that underpin scientific capacity building, drawing attention to the paradoxical in ways in which these programmes produce stasis and fixity, as well as mobility and exchange.
