There is a current global push to identify and implement best practice for delivering maximum impact from development research in low-income and middle-income countries. Here, we describe a model of research and capacity building that challenges traditional approaches taken by western funders in Africa. Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa (TIBA) is a global health research and delivery partnership with a focus on strengthening health systems to combat neglected tropical diseases, malaria and emerging pathogens in Africa. Partners are academic and research institutions based in Ghana, Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and the UK. Fifteen other African countries have participated in TIBA activities. With a starting budget of under £7 million, and in just 4 years, TIBA has had a verified impact on knowledge, policy practice and capacity building, and on national and international COVID-19 responses in multiple African countries. TIBA’s impact is shown in context-specific metrics including: strengthening the evidence base underpinning international policy on neglected tropical diseases; 77% of research publications having Africa-based first and/or last authors; postgraduate, postdoctoral and professional training; career progression for African researchers and health professionals with no net brain drain from participating countries; and supporting African institutions. Training in real-time SARS-CoV-2 viral genome sequencing provided new national capabilities and capacities that contributed to both national responses and global health security through variant detection and tracking. TIBA’s experience confirms that health research for Africa thrives when the agenda and priorities are set in Africa, by Africans, and the work is done in Africa. Here, we share 10 actionable recommendations for researchers and funders from our lessons learnt.

“…Meanwhile, in health education, the role of edutainment in the educational video has also been demonstrated to be beneficial. For example, [27] discovered that exposing school children to animated videos as a part of health education interventions was significantly effective in rural settings. The video's edutainment approach incorporates drama, song, and poetry, allowing the audience to participate directly with the characters.…”

A video-based learning (VBL) has long practically been used in the education environment to help students enhance their level of understanding. Educational content for VBL has been widely produced on various platforms to support achieving the optimum level of student performance. Additionally, the concept of edutainment using video in education is gaining traction, particularly in children's learning. Implementing the edutainment notion into the learning process is a critical component of successful learning. Previous research has examined the beneficial effects of edutainment using video for learning purposes. It has been shown to improve the effectiveness of the learning process and generate enjoyable learning experiences for students. As the paper is aimed at children, the EMV can capture their attention even more than a standard educational video does due to its interactive content. However, studies on edutainment for educational music videos, in particular, have not been studied much. Thus, the objective of this paper is two-fold; i) to review and discuss the conceptual approach of edutainment and its significance towards student learning experiences, and ii) to propose the component and element of edutainment in the educational music video (EMV) for children learning. The findings of this study outline the characteristics of edutainment that can be utilised as criteria for selecting the finest EMV in learning for children.

“…A content analysis was then used to individually count the number of Infographics, Tables and Graphs within the Quality Account. A consistent data coding framework was developed, which focused on clear definitions of Infographics [8], Tables [26] and Graphs [27], which ensured reliability [24,25]. Examples of Infographics (see Figure 2), Tables (see Figure 3) and Graphs (see Figure 4) are provided.…”

“…Infographics, Tables and Graphs have been widely used to help users understand financial and non-financial information. In terms of infographics, Mindu et al [8] explain that these are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge and that apart from being beautiful, engaging and easier to understand, … also present complex information effectively. Research on the effects of infographics within publicly available reports has shown that these increase understandability [6] and uphold legitimacy [9].…”

Objective: This study will investigate whether removing the Quality Accounts purpose and aim led to differences in the number of Infographics, Tables and Graphs used over four years. Design: A content analysis was performed on the Quality Accounts of six Hospitals and Health Services from 2016 to 2019. Statistical analysis was then performed to examine differences in the use of Infographics, Tables and Graphs in the Quality Account Setting: The six Hospitals and Health Services were operating in a rural geographical area in the state of Victoria, Australia. Results: Even though some significant differences were found , this was largely due to yearly variability in the use of Infographics, Tables and Graphs. The six Hospitals were quite different in their Quality Account presentations because these reports are structured to a particular community. Conclusions: The removal of the purpose and aim has not affected the number of Infographics, Tables and Graphs. While limitations are noted, a number of future research opportunities stem from this study to enhance the Quality Account and overall understandability of Hospital reports.
