Global research, vital for economic and social progress, remains largely inaccessible due to costly paywalls and inequitable publishing models. South Africa’s 2025 G20 leadership presents an opportunity to champion transformative, inclusive reforms in research publishing.
This report presents the results of a self-evaluation of the process and impact of INASPs Global Platforms for Equitable Knowledge Ecosystems (GPEKE) project from April 2019 to December 2022.
This brief shares reflections from evidence diagnostic exercises with government agencies in Pakistan and Uganda, undertaken as part of the Strengthening Evidence Use for Development Impact (SEDI) programme.
In 2020 INASP helped Research4Life to learn more about our users' needs and challenges by carrying out an extensive survey and evaluation of users across multiple countries and institution types.
This learning brief summarises the experience of designing, conducting, and reflecting on a novel methodology for understanding the political economy of government agencies’ use of evidence.
This learning brief summarises insights from the analysis phase of the Strengthening Evidence Use for Development Impact (SEDI) programme, which was funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented in Ghana, Pakistan, and Uganda.
In the first half of 2020, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, INASP launched two adaptions of our online critical thinking course – a self-paced tutorial and a light-touch facilitated course. This paper discusses and compares their responses and engagement.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many inequities. This paper discusses some of those inequities and what they mean for research and knowledge, and starts to consider how they might be addressed.
Technology-enhanced learning approaches can improve the reach and scale of capacity development interventions to support research and higher education. We reviewed learner feedback from INASP’s own TEL work alongside published literature on learner context in Ethiopia and Uganda.
During April 2020, INASP asked researchers from 94 countries and across the whole spectrum of academic disciplines: “What impact, if any, do you think that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will have on your research work?”. This paper shares the findings.
This report presents an overview of highlights and key learning from the work on global platforms to support the production, sharing and use of research and knowledge.
