This Video showcases the successes and achievements of the Consortium for National Health Research. CNHR is an NGO registered in Kenya since 27th September 2007 as an international multi-stakeholder, not-for profit and non-partisan private/public partnership whose mission is to contribute to the realization of better health for Kenyans through strengthening of research-for-health capacity in Kenya. CNHR's mission is achieved through a strategy that aims at building a critical mass of researchers working in Kenya through a) raising the profile of science among young Kenyans; b) providing research training opportunities to young and mid-career Kenyans; c) supporting established researchers to undertake quality research and provide mentorship; and d) providing targeted support to institutions working in multidisciplinary teams on priority research-for-health projects, as well as to policy makers charged with regulating and coordinating health research activities. CNHR also contributes to the building of vibrant networks and supporting Communities or Centres of Research Excellence that are able to offer an environment for sharing of resources (such as expensive pieces of equipment), as well as provide research-rich career paths to young scientists, thus retaining and enabling them to become internationally competitive in the generation and use of research evidence
