Considering equity in global health collaborations: A qualitative study on experiences of equity

Abstract: International collaborations have become the standard model for global health research and often include researchers and institutions from high income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While such collaborations are important for generating new knowledge that will help address global health inequities, there is evidence to suggest that current forms of collaboration may reproduce unequal power relations. Therefore, we conducted a qualitative study with scientists, researchers and th… Show more

“…Power differentials encourage inequitable research partnerships, conflicting research priorities, and disparities in funding, authorship, and recognition. (Shumba & Lusambili, 2021; Faure, Munung, Ntusi, Pratt, & de Vries, 2021) The absence of LMIC representation within funding organizations and review committees perpetuates inequality within the sector. Furthermore, incompatibilities across different levels and systems within the research ecosystem result in substantial discrimination, but a lack of understanding or prioritization by powerful actors means such incompatibilities persist.…”

“…13 Measuring equity can occur through practices such as capacity building, assessing tasks within a team, data sharing, practices of dissemination of research, authorship, and funding transparency. 13 Effective team building and collaboration are paramount for implementing a study, but there are other practical considerations to conducting research. Funding needs to be secured and must be adequate to conduct all phases of the study including capacity building.…”

“…Training is delivered by visiting faculty from the US, who teach and mentor surgeons year-round at Hawassa with the goal of increasing capacity to address the region's increasingly complex surgical care needs [7]. Bilateral partnerships increase awareness of each region's unique requirements through collaboration with frontline researchers, institutions, communities, and governments, while developing an international community of surgeons with the tools to address inequities in global surgery [13,14].…”
