在90年代初，研究表明，卫生研究对低收入和中等收入国家的卫生和发展贡献不大，因为它面向国际优先事项，由北方的研究人员主导。需要采取新的南北合作办法，支持南方由需求驱动和地方主导的研究。这项研究的目的是分析加纳一项由需求驱动和地方领导的研究方案的发展和运作情况，该方案得到南北合作的支持。在这个混合方法的案例研究中，我们结合了文件分析、关键线人访谈和对节目事件的观察。研究方案的发展始于在荷兰建立一个赞助星座。一个咨询理事会在强调了传统研究合作的问题之后，提出了一个以更加平等和有效的方式开展南北合作的设想。与加纳的合作伙伴一起，这一愿景变成了一项由加纳领导的需求驱动和当地领导的研究方案，该方案由荷兰政府资助。研究优先事项的确定表明，加纳的研究需求与外国资助者和研究人员的优先事项有很大不同。在缓慢的起步之后，当地提交的建议数量从2001年的13项增加到2005年的94项，表明存在着大量但部分是潜在的研究能力储备。总共资助了79项研究。一项影响评价表明，大多数研究的结果都被用于促进行动。尽管取得了成功，但该研究计划在荷兰的赞助星座解体后于2008年结束。我们的研究表明，在南方实现一个由需求驱动和地方主导的研究方案，为南北合作提供了一个有效的方法，利用成果，加强地方能力和机构。
At the turn of the 90s, studies showed that health research contributed little to health and development in low- and middle-income countries because it was oriented towards international priorities and dominated by researchers from the North. A new approach to North–South collaboration was required that would support demand-driven and locally led research in the South. The aim of this study was to analyse the development and functioning of a programme for demand-driven and locally led research in Ghana that was supported by a North–South collaboration. For this mixed-method case study, we combined document analysis, key informant interviews and observation of programme events. The development of the research programme started with constructing a sponsorship constellation in the Netherlands. After highlighting the problems with traditional research collaboration, an advisory council formulated a vision for a more equal and effective approach to North–South collaboration. Together with Ghanaian partners, this vision was turned into a proposal for a Ghanaian-led programme for demand-driven and locally led research, which was funded by the Netherlands government. Research priority setting showed that the Ghanaian research needs were very different from the priorities of foreign funders and researchers. After a slow start, the number of locally submitted proposals increased from 13 in 2001 to 94 in 2005, revealing the existence of a substantial, but partly latent reservoir of research capacity. In total, 79 studies were funded. An impact evaluation showed that the results of the majority of the studies were used to contribute to action. Despite its success, the research programme came to an end in 2008 after the sponsorship constellation in the Netherlands fell apart. Our study shows that realising a programme for demand-driven and locally led research in the South provides an effective approach to North–South collaboration in which results are used and local capacities and institutions are strengthened.
