This is just for interest sake, in communities where research is not accepted at all, even when you try engaging with stakeholders from different levels but they seem to be not interested. do you continue with the trial hoping that some of the community members will end up understanding the research? If yes, how sure are you as research team that those communities won’t have impact on other communities when the studies are conducted in the those other areas?
The course was very interesting, eye opening and there is still more that need to be done on our side. I have learned that engaging with community stakeholders does not necessarily mean that they will all support and accept what we are doing as a research but keeping things transparent is the key, respecting and understanding the community from different levels can help us getting where we are going quick and easy because in that way we will be travelling on the trust of one another and lift each other up along the way. GPP Team, thank you for your patience, dedication and always willing to assist.
