| description |
Training local researchers to conduct
high-quality qualitative research in a country like Sierra
Leone is both a time and resource-intensive task. However,
there are many benefits to partnering with a local
organization which cannot be replicated or replaced by
simply hiring ready-made international researchers. First,
the J4P project in Sierra Leone has received a great deal of
appreciation locally for its decision to work closely with a
national partner, and its commitment to building local
research capacity. Second, and related to the first, it is
quite possible that these local partnerships increase the
likelihood that the research will have an impact on policy
and programs here in Sierra Leone, particularly those
instituted locally by government or civil society actors.
Finally, there is much that local researchers themselves
teach the project. They often provide a reality-check on
research instruments and methods before they are
field-tested. This briefing note focuses on the experience
to date in Sierra Leone, where the project has been working
in partnership with a local Non Governmental Organization
(NGO), the Campaign for Good Governance (CGG), and with a
team of local researchers hired by CGG. |
