Harmful invasive plant prolongs life of mosquitoes and can escalate malaria incidence in East Africa. New interesting and important study by @icipe with core support from @Sida. Always innovative @icipe has also ideas for ecologically based solutions! icipe.org/news/devastati…

Good advice from @HakimAbdi on how to avoid worst type of unequal research cooperation: include your partners in early discussions, train them on the latest tools that are used in the discipline, make them co-authors. In @TidningenCurie: tidningencurie.se/gastbloggar/ha…

Participating in Africa-Asia Workshop - Future Agenda to Contain #AntimicrobialResistance organised by @CSEINDIA. Honoured to be invited to represent @Sida in a panel to discuss political commitment and funding to contain #AMR later today.

Opportunity for PhD students in Southeast Asia: Online training on Human Rights and Peace research, arranged by @Shape_SEA and @IHRPMahidol. Funded by @Sida's research cooperation. Deadline for concept note submission: 9 April 2021 shapesea.com/about-us/news/…

Mathematician Betty Nannyonga @MakerereU, one of many women who got research training through @ISP_Uppsala & @Sida's research cooperation. Now a successful scientist improving Uganda's ability to tackle health problems. Interview: swedenabroad.se/en/embassies/u… #InternationalWomensDay

In the last three years 524 women from low- and middle income countries have been awarded PhD Fellowships via @Sida's and @OWSDsecretariat’s research cooperation. Meet the 2020 PhD Graduates and be inspired: owsd.net/news/news-even… #InternationalWomensDay

What can a PhD through @OWSDsecretariat & @Sida's research cooperation lead to? Example: 2013 fellow Christelle Dzesse Tekouo was recently appointed the first woman lecturer in the School of Chemical Engineering and Mineral Industries @univNdere, Cameroon. #InternationalWomensDay

173 women are currently training to be researchers through @OWSDsecretariat and @Sida's PhD Fellowship Programme. Meet one of them, @NdushaBintu from DR Congo, who uses nitrogen-fixing bacteria to combat malnutrition: us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=886f324fd8b… #InternationalWomensDay #SDG5 #SDG2

With this excellent toolkit, you can start working on attaining gender equity at your institution. Developed by @INASPinfo together with Tanzanian women researchers with support from @Sida's research cooperation: inasp.info/gendertoolkit Why not start today? #InternationWomensDay

Forskningsframsteg i Sida-stödd studie ger hopp om att eliminera spridning av #hiv från mor till barn. @TeresaSoop på @Sida tror det kommer leda till att fler länder som #Tanzania kommer att satsa på hiv-behandlingen, säger hon till @ttnyhetsbyran: dn.se/varlden/lovand…

"Now more than ever the multilateral system must be supported to work effectively to deliver know-how and #COVID19 vaccines, therapeutics, and other vital supplies ... to all nations." Statement of the Lancet Commission on COVID-19 covid19commission.org/enhancing-glob…

The world needs more women in science. Celebrate #WomenInScienceDay by reading some of the inspiring interviews in @SciDevNet's series with successful female innovators and scientists: scidev.net/global/content… Important science journalism part of @Sida's research cooperation.

Varför går det biståndspengar till forskning i andra länder? Finns det lika många forskare överallt? Det svarar @Mich_Sci på i serien #SåFunkarDet på Sidas instagram. Vad undrar du? Ställ din fråga på: instagram.com/stories/sidasw… #utvpol #BiståndGörSkillnad #forskning

Pre-announcement of new research call by @JPIAMR for One Health interventions to prevent antimicrobial resistance #AMR! Open to researchers from 30 African countries, with support from @Sida. More here: jpiamr.eu/interventions-… #EAAD #WAAW #KeepAntibioticsWorking

Så här hjälper @Sida's forskningssamarbete till att bevara några av världens hotspots för biologisk mångfald, samtidigt som lokalbefolkningens rättigheter stärks och fattigdomen minskar. Viktigt för både klimat, en levande planet, jämlikhet och allas rätt till ett värdigt liv:

Important progress in the fight against the invasive & highly destructive fall armyworm: @icipe has developed biopesticides, that are effective & environmentally safe for African farmers to use. Supported by @Sida. #SDG2 #FallArmyWorm #InvasiveSpecies icipe.org/news/new-arsen…

Nearly 60% of articles in predatory journals attracted no citations at all, says @Nature. But despite limited readership, such journals still pose a threat to science in several ways: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Happy that Dr Jeannette Bayisenge, an expert in women's rights, has been appointed minister in #Rwanda. She got her PhD @GoteborgsUni #Sweden with a gender-based analysis of equal access to land. Second woman from @Sida's research cooperation with Rwanda to become minister!

Nu ökar ⁦@Sida⁩ satsningen på demokrati, flera initiativ profileras här på hemsidan. English speakers: Run this website through a translator to get a sense of Sida’s expanded commitment to promoting democracy wherever we work. #DriveForDemocracy sida.se/Svenska/aktuel…

This is great news and a good example of what 20 years of capacity building within @Sida's research cooperation can lead to. Health sciences in #Uganda have gone from unprecedented brain drain to being strong and competitive with high impact on both Ugandan and global health.
