Research management project : research excellence

Abstract

The purpose of this framework is to present approaches to shape ideas, understanding and application of Research Excellence (RE) among Science Granting Councils (SGCs) s in sub-Saharan Africa. The principles presented in this framework take account of regional and national views, perspectives, and dynamics, without losing the context within which research is conducted across the globe. The framework is informed by a comprehensive literature review, case studies, survey findings, and outcomes from a consultation meeting with SGCI stakeholders in southern, eastern, and western Africa.
