Abstract
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers substantial shortages in doctorates. Yet, PhD training is key to building mastery of specific subject-matters and equipping researchers with the high-level skills needed to design, implement and evaluate development interventions and activities. This editorial describes the African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowship (ADDRF) Program, which was established in 2008 to enhance research capacity in Africa through the provision of doctoral fellowships and targeted training workshops to facilitate rigorous research addressing governance, equity, health and population-related issues on the continent. The Program has supported 133 doctoral students from across the region. This supplemental issue of the Pan-African Medical Journal showcases the research of 14 of these fellows.
