African countries, as with other countries in the Global South, have major public health problems with an insufficient trained workforce and research leadership to respond to these problems. While African healthcare in general suffers from a lack of sufficient human resource in the health sector, there is also a particular lack of research capacity to address the health challenges. Part of this is due to over reliance on the Global North for research leadership, and a resulting failure to develop research which is appropriate to the local context. Reidpath and Allotey identify a need to "engage more effectively with the growing, if disempowered, talent in the Global South to support the building of enabling environments to raise the leadership, quality and volume of home grown, contextually driven and sustainable solutions". A paper in Times Higher Education 'Are research links with the developing world still a one-way street?' demonstrates the need for research leadership to come from the Global South.
