This report is a result of a research project funded by DFID entitled Globalisation and Skills
for Development in Rwanda and Tanzania: Implications for Education and Training Policy and
Practice. The project was a collaborative effort between the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Dar
es Salaam and the Kigali Institute of Education. The research design had embedded within
it clear process goals to develop research capacity in a spirit of equal partnership. This
synthesis report compares and contrasts the research findings from Rwanda and Tanzania.
It is accompanied by individual country reports for Rwanda and Tanzania but can be read
separately from these. These unpublished reports are available on request from DFID.
The overall aim of the research was to create a context-relevant knowledge base about the
implications for education and training policy of globalisation in two low income sub-Saharan
African countries. The research was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002 in three
phases. Phase one was a preparation and piloting stage including a full literature review and
preparation of research instruments. Phase two was largely devoted to data gathering with
emphasis given to qualitative single and group interviews of a representative range of
stakeholders, document analysis and in-country workshops. Phase three was demarcated as
one of data analysis and dissemination including a regional dissemination workshop. |
