On October 6, 2022, the Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies concluded a six-day training course on research methodology in social sciences. The course provided an opportunity for participants to advance their philosophical and methodological understanding of research through a critical exploration of research structure, language, ethical principles, challenges, and approaches. Participants were also introduced to qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research designs.
The training is part of a 3-year Capacity Building Collaboration Project supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA). This project aims is to develop the research capacity of collaborating African universities including: University of Hargeisa, Somaliland, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia; The Protestant University of Central Africa in Cameroon, Africa University in Zimbabwe, Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria, and Haramaya University in Ethiopia.
