Description
Hani Salim and co-authors present a 2026 paper on making global health partnerships fairer. Many research programs in poorer countries are still driven from outside, short-lived, and focused on training one person at a time. The authors draw lessons from RESPIRE, a collaboration on respiratory health across South and Southeast Asia.
They use the ESSENCE principles, a framework for equitable research capacity building. RESPIRE anchored its work in local leadership rather than in hands from outside. Regional peer learning, shared governance, mentoring, and community engagement held the network together. The paper shows the steps that made those principles real in budgets and in choices. Funders and institutions get a practical template. The goal is research ecosystems that low- and middle-income partners lead on their own.
