North-South research partnerships must break old patterns for real change

Without change, the trajectory of growth and development in the world will remain consistent with that of the past 80 years.

Really important from @_JeanLebel @IDRC_CRDI: argues "Southern only research is high quality" & offers better ways of assessing it, which start from rigour & quality but also recognise context, relevance, engagement with stakeholders, capacity strengthening. @INASPinfo teapawt.net/NatureNews/status/1014…
