National and International Advocacy
CoBReG is actively seeking support for growing the research backbone that sustains the local scientific community. We are advocating worldwide for the creation of sustainable funding mechanisms for Ghana. The national government, as well as international bodies, need to be aware that harnessing scientific developments will benefit all Africans not only in terms of better services and products but also with job creation at all skill levels.
Our targets include:
Establishing and promoting reliable, targeted, and flexible funding mechanisms
Partnering with other organizations sharing the CoBReG vision for capacity building
