African Research Excellence Ep. 5: Shiphrah Kuria, AMREF

Interview with Shiphrah Kuria, AMREF

You’re listening to episode 4 of “African Research Excellence – DSW in conversation” – where each week Eoghan Walsh and Agustin Martin of DSW interview outstanding African researchers and advocates in the field of global health research, to learn more about their work and their views on the needs and opportunities to advance GH R&I in Africa.

2020 is set to be a big year for EU-Africa relations, and for global health – even before the Covid-19 emergency. Organisations like AMREF are leading the health conversation in East Africa and the rest of the sub-continent, advocating towards their national government – and international donors – to keep up the momentum in the fight to eradicate diseases of poverty and instrumentalising R&I to achieve this.

So we’re delighted to have on as a guest on this week’s episode Shiphrah Kuria of AMREF.
