The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) published a report titled “Comprehensive Review of Academic Partnership in Global Health”, in partnership with USAID funded the Sustaining Technical and Analytic Resources (STAR) project. The report provides an in-depth analysis on building fair and mutually beneficial academic partnerships between U.S. and other low- and middle- income country institutions in fostering global health challenges. The review identifies that academic partnerships are essential for succeeding research and education goals, and USAID intends to strengthen these partnerships, so their benefits extend beyond individual projects. This review further explores motivation, key success, and challenges, while suggesting best practices for building equitable partnerships.
GlohMed investigator Dr. Suraj Bhattarai contributed to this study and report in the capacity of co-investigator and member of the ‘Academic partnership review technical working group’ for the CUGH-STAR project.
