American University
in Cairo/American
University of Beirut
Collaboration
|
| |
The
Wellcome Trust continues
to support collaboration
between the Social
Research Center and the
Faculty of Health
Sciences at the American
University of Beirut.
The objective of the
program is to complement
and capitalize on the
relative advantages of
both institutions
through strengthening
academic links and
sharing expertise. The
program provides a
supportive institutional
environment for
intellectual exchange,
staff development
through visiting
fellowships and the
training of graduate
students. It thus
expands research
opportunities,
especially for young
scholars. Collaborative
activities include
sharing expertise and
teaching materials for
training courses on
reproductive health and
research techniques.
Areas in which research
expertise is being
shared and expanded are
health sector reform,
reproductive health, and
aging.

Children in the Gulf Countries
|
| |
This project
supports the preparation
of situation analyses of
children in the Gulf
countries. As with
earlier studies of the
situation of Egyptian
children and women
conducted by SRC, this
is a rights based
analysis. Meeting with
experts from SRC, the
concerned parties have
analyzed the data,
discussed priorities and
written individual
reports for Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain,
Qatar and the United
Arab Emirates.

collaboration

The Social Research Center collaborated with the Palestinian Central Bureau of
Statistics (CBS) in the production of three substantial reports: (1) The
Dynamics and Determinants of Reproductive Patterns in Palestine; (2) Family
Formation Patterns in Palestine; and (3) The Underlying Dynamics of Child Health
in Palestine. This project built on past collaboration between the two
institutions in research and training, and is designed to contribute to
enlarging the scope of health policy discourse, based on accurate information
and analysis.
