Sam Franzen is a senior consultant in the health team at Oxford Policy Management. Sam has broad social policy experience with a background in HIV research. Over a very international career, he has worked with the Rwandan government to scale-up an innovative national HIV intervention and lived in India working with a non-governmental organisation to evaluate their provision of services for very poor people living with HIV in slums. He recently led an international collaboration to develop a framework for strengthening health research system capacity in universities, healthcare institutions and government departments in low- and middle-income countries.
The need to develop and expand research capacity in low- and middle-income countries has been recognised for more than 25 years. Yet, despite some progress, there are still strides to take to ensure that research capacity isn’t merely an afterthought.
