The Association of African Universities (AAU) says the ability of Ghana and other African countries to prudently manage research grants from donor partners has improved greatly due to the country’s participation in the Science Granting Council Initiative (SGCI).

According to Nodumo Dhlamini who is director of ICT Services, Communications and Knowledge Management at the AAU, increased transparency in how research money is used is making it possible for these countries to get enhanced donor support for research activities.
