Global Challenges Research Fund Project – ‘Trauma and Community Based Social Work in East Africa’

Dr Karin Cooper writes: 

This three-phased international project, which commenced in Dar es Salam, has been selected as representing an ‘excellent case study’ for the QR – GCRF. The project involved networking in Tanzania between Bienvenu Munyerere (NGO - Burundi), Mubakilay Yannick (NGO - Democratic Republic of the Congo), Dr Karin Cooper (University of Hull) and Madam Leah Omari an academic colleague from the Tanzanian ‘Institute of Social Work’ who joined us on the first networking day.

As part of this project our Congolese and Burundian partners engaged in extensive networking within East Africa. This involved consultation with various NGOs from a range of backgrounds including social work, health, education and the legal profession. UK partners Dr Amanda Lee (pictured), Amina Adan and Dr Karin Cooper, in partnership with Bienvenu Munyerere and Mubakilay Yannick, finalised key areas of mutual interest for future research funding centred upon rights, risk and protection in an East African context.
