Over the last 25 years, INASP has enjoyed developing partnerships that have been helping us to support both institutions and individuals to produce, share and use research and knowledge which can transform lives. In a recent post, INASP partners reflected on achievements over the past quarter of a century. This blog post looks at some approaches that INASP’s associates and partners believe will continue to be important for INASP going forward.
As part of a series of posts celebrating INASP’s 25th anniversary, some of INASP’s partners and associates share their thoughts about collaboration with INASP.
