Mawazo Institute Launches a Public Resource Library for Researchers
April 7, 2022 Nairobi, Kenya The Mawazo Institute is proud to announce the launch of the Mawazo Learning Exchange (MLEx) Resource Library. The MLEx Resource Library section contains a carefully curated library of material that has been designed with the African researcher in mind. Our goal with this library is to create a topical place where African researchers can find useful tools and guides to sharpen their skills, improve their research and careers, and find opportunities within academia and beyond.
The library features a selection of free Mawazo Learning Exchange (MLEx) resources and other external sources. This includes information on funding and career opportunities, tools to manage research projects effectively, resources to help craft journal articles and grant proposals, and public engagement and science communication tools to help researchers engage various audiences — from colleagues to policymakers to the general public.
As we launch the library, researchers, practitioners and academics can find resources on Academic Writing, Publishing and Grants Management, Budgeting and Financial Management, Ethics In Research, and Funding and Opportunities.
“We’re really proud of the new Resource Library and feel it will provide invaluable learning material to researchers across all disciplines and across the continent,” said Dr. Fiona Moejes,Acting CEO and Director of Programmes at the Mawazo Institute.
We welcome learners and practitioners of all ages and backgrounds to explore the materials currently available – and keep an eye out for new resource materials as we continue to update the library . Thank you for visiting!
