Regional research and development (R&D) programs are faced with a challenging mandate of balancing diverse tasks of enabling bottom-up learning while integrating research regionally, generating a flexible learning culture at all levels while ensuring research quality, developing a mentoring system in which mentors are also learning, and enabling change at local, site and regional levels when each level believes its task is to bring about change at other levels. AHI has made recent progress in operationalizing a regional R&D agenda that is at once rigorous and flexible, bottom-up and regionally integrated. This brief outlines some of the lessons learned.
