Research plays a crucial role in the success of a nation. Research capacity is often a reflection of development capacity. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated in 2008 at its Bamako Ministerial Forum Call to Action that  “research and innovation have been and will be increasingly essential to find solutions to health problems, address predictable and unpredictable threats to human security, alleviate poverty, and accelerate development,”
an acknowledgement of the broad benefits of strong research.
