Evaluating capacity strengthening for health research in low- and middle-income countries

This study aimed to enhance understanding about the difficulties in evaluating health research capacity strengthening initiatives and to make recommendations about how to make such evaluations more effective. Through discussions and surveys of health research capacity strengthening funders, the researchers identified themes important to funders. The themes were then used to systematically analyse eighteen evaluation reports, written between 2000 and 2013, representing 12 evaluations ranging from individuals and institutions to national, regional and global levels.
