University of Rwanda Research Agenda will serve as a catalyst fostering and entrenching the culture of excellence in research and innovation that is responding to national, regional and global socio-economic challenges such as climate change, famine, migrations and conflict, technology and health related issues among others. Furthermore, it builds on the existing skills, knowledge and achievements at the University of Rwanda to increase publications and innovations, and suggests strategies and interventions that are needed to address current weaknesses/gaps. It will guide future research interventions, set priorities for future resource mobilization, and make University of Rwanda responsive to societal challenges by contributing evidence/data to guide policy and decision makers..
