项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In Sub-Saharan Africa, the infrastructure for social science research is extremely fragile. In the proposed project, The Alan Guttmacher Institute would provide increased expertise and capacity in HIV-related research to two research centers that will collaborate on its funded research project. These two centers are APHRC, a research center in Nairobi, Kenya and UERD, a research center in Burkina Faso. Capacity-building activities would be added to the Research Project, whose goal is to improve adolescents' ability to prevent HIV infection. These activities would strengthen the two centers and would also enhance and leverage the work of the Research Project. The proposed activities include: a) For UERD, expanding expertise in research and communication by adding three comprehensive training workshops to the Research Project, adding internships with APHRC and AGI, and increasing training in communication techniques; b) For APHRC, taking a lead role in organizing the three added workshops and increasing their expertise in providing training, increasing skills in comparative analysis on youth and HIV prevention, and increasing skills in communicating research findings at the regional level. For both organizations, this project would provide support for some infrastructural needs, principally for computers and internet connectivity. This project would also have the long-term advantage of raising the visibility and profile of APHRC as a regional organization and strengthening UERD as a recognized center in Burkina Faso. These activities would directly increase the expertise and capacity of UERD and APHRC and will build on their existing skills to help construct a foundation for their long-term strength and sustainability. The expanded activities would also increase the potential of the Research Project to have an impact on policy and programs and to improve prevention of HIV among youth in Sub-Saharan Africa.

描述（由申请人提供）：在撒哈拉以南非洲，社会科学研究的基础设施非常脆弱。在拟议的项目中，Alan Guttmacher Institute将为两个研究中心提供与HIV相关研究的能力提高的专业知识和能力，这些研究中心将在其资助的研究项目中合作。这两个中心是APHRC，是内罗毕，肯尼亚和UERD的研究中心，位于布基纳法索的研究中心。能力建设活动将添加到研究项目中，其目标是改善青少年预防艾滋病毒感染的能力。这些活动将加强两个中心，还将增强和利用研究项目的工作。拟议的活动包括：a）为UERD，通过向研究项目添加三个全面的培训讲习班，增加了APHRC和AGI的实习，并增加了通信技术的培训，从而扩大了研究和沟通的专业知识； b）对于APHRC，在组织这三个添加的研讨会方面发挥了主导作用，并提高了他们在提供培训方面的专业知识，提高了对青年和艾滋病毒预防的比较分析方面的技能，并提高了在区域层面传达研究结果方面的技能。对于这两个组织，该项目将为某些基础设施需求提供支持，主要是计算机和互联网连接。该项目还将具有长期优势，即提高APHRC作为区域组织的知名度和概况，并加强UERD作为Burkina Faso公认的中心。这些活动将直接提高UERD和APHRC的专业知识和能力，并以其现有技能为基础，以帮助建立其长期实力和可持续性的基础。扩大的活动还将增加研究项目对政策和计划产生影响，并改善撒哈拉以南非洲青年对艾滋病毒的预防。
