Project report on Research4Life Massive Online Open Course on Global Access to Research in health, food and agriculture, environment, innovation and law
The United Nations Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries (TBLDC) is a global organization dedicated to enhancing the contribution of science, technology and innovation for sustainable development in the world’s Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) shares the same interest in its member countries. FAO supports them in managing their own development process, by building initiatives to help strengthen their capacities to achieve their own goals. In this context, TBLDC and FAO have joined forces to support the delivery of online training activities for the 47least-developed countries to enhance their access to recent scientific knowledge, and thus give them the opportunity to participate fully in the global scientific community. In 2020, TBLDC and FAO ran two editions of the Research4Life Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Global Access to Research in Health, Food and Agriculture, Environment, Innovation and Law to develop capacities in information use, scholarly communication and information management in LDCs. The activities reached about 3 500 participants from 88 countries, including 43 LDCs. This report presents the results of this collaboration. Lessons learned are shared in consideration of future programme improvements and with the hope that others can build on this experience.
