Highlights
If research is critical to development, information is critical to research, the life-blood which animates the scientific and scholarly endeavour and enables the higher education (HE) system to operate
A number of major World Bank reports have emphasized the importance of HE and research, while multilateral and bilateral donors alike have broadened their focus from basic education and stepped up their investments in the HE system.[1]
While donor support has been important, universities have done much to Jonathan Harle and Anne Powell Publishers for Development: a new initiative transform themselves, restructuring and seeking new modes of income generation
Summary
The ability of developing countries to respond effectively to the complex and multi-layered challenges which they face will depend fundamentally on their ability to undertake rigorous, high quality research. These challenges include improving agricultural production, ensuring sustainable use of natural resources and responding to the effects of a changing climate; developing new medicines and treatments and improving healthcare systems; responding to the challenges of governance, accountability and exclusion; and understanding the social, cultural and political forces which underlie these. Strengthening developing-country research means strengthening the information and communication cycle
