This followed the successful implementation of the Research for Impact Initiative (R41) under the auspices of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) where four teams were shortlisted to advance their developed ideas through a collaborative research grant established under SGCs with Innov8 Technology Hub as the technical partner.
The grant originated from the SGCI, a multi-funder initiative aimed at strengthening the capacities of 17 Science Granting Councils (SGCs) in sub-Saharan Africa.
It would be recalled that TETFund is one of 17 members of the Sub-Saharan Africa Science Funding Councils Initiative, which seeks to strengthen Science Financing Councils in supporting research and evidence-based policies that contribute to the socioeconomic development of countries.
