North / South capacity building and partnerships in health - the case of the UDI-A projectCapacitação e parcerias norte/sul na área da saúde – o caso do projeto UDI-AUDI-A is a consortium led by NOVA University of Lisbon in partnership with European and African institutions which aims at improving the scientific and academic profile of four Universities – two in Angola and two in Mozambique -, with a strong emphasis on social entrepreneurship. This article aims at understanding the experiences, motivations and criticism of African participants (Champions), valuing the voices of participants from the Global South, whose narratives are often overlooked by scholarly work on capacity building and partnerships.

In the conclusion we provide some suggestions on how to reconfigure capacity building exercises.O projeto “University Development and Innovation – Africa (UDI-A)” é um consórcio liderado pela Universidade NOVA de Lisboa em parceria com instituições académicas europeias e africanas e que visa melhorar o currículo académico e científico de quatro Universidades – duas em Angola e duas em Moçambique - e capacitá-las para o empreendedorismo social. Este artigo visa compreender as experiências, motivações e críticas dos académicos africanos (designados como Champions), valorizando as vozes dos participantes do Sul Global, cujas narrativas são frequentemente ignoradas pela literatura sobre capacitação e parcerias. Os dados apresentados neste artigo foram recolhidos entre março e abril de 2018 através de metodologias e técnicas qualitativas (participação observante, entrevistas semi estruturadas, um grupo focal e análise documental) de recolha de dados junto de todos os Champions associados ao setor da saúde. As entrevistas e grupo focal foram transcritos na íntegra e foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo temática das transcrições. Os resultados indicam que as motivações iniciais dos Champions estão relacionadas com a combinação das áreas da investigação, docência e empreendedorismo, mas também a possibilidade de se estabelecerem parcerias e projetos de intervenção comunitária. Em termos da experiência, o contacto com metodologias de ensino inovadoras foi reconhecido pelos Champions como uma mais valia. Na conclusão são apresentadas algumas propostas para a reconfiguração dos exercícios de capacitação.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2019-03-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.272oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/272Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 17 (2018): Desempenho e história nos sistemas de saúde: municipalização, recursos humanos e cooperação; 35-43Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 17 (2018): Desempenho e história nos sistemas de saúde: municipalização, recursos humanos e cooperação; 35-432184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/272https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.272http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/272/224http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, AntónioFerrinho, PauloCraveiro, Isabel2022-09-23T15:30:25Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/272Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:03:59.519463Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
