🌍📚 When women have access to knowledge, possibilities grow.

At the 8th International Interdisciplinary Research Conference hosted by Kiriri Women's University of Science and Technology, Research4Life Regional Knowledge Ambassador Emily Musembi highlighted the powerful connection between equitable access to scholarly information and women’s participation in research.

Through programmes such as HINARI, AGORA, OARE, ARDI and GOALI, Research4Life connects researchers, faculty and postgraduate students in low- and middle-income countries with quality scholarly resources that support better research, teaching, innovation and evidence-based decision-making.

For women researchers, access to the right information can open doors to stronger research, greater visibility and a stronger voice in global knowledge production. 💡

KLISC is proud to support this work by strengthening information literacy, empowering librarians as research partners, and helping institutions make the most of the resources available to them.

Because women shouldn’t just have a seat at the research table — they should have the information and opportunities to shape the conversation. ✨

Recently, KLISC participated in the Academic Allies in Kenya roadshow, hosted by Taylor & Francis Group at the Sarova Stanley in Nairobi. This forum was part of a broader Taylor & Francis roadshow spanning East African countries, aimed at fostering strategic partnerships and advancing the continent's research visibility.

The event brought together some KLISC member institutions and representatives from various TVET institutions to explore the role of libraries as vital catalysts for national research excellence. The discussions centered on aligning academic output with the African Union’s Agenda 2063, specifically examining how open access publishing and evidence-based frameworks can empower researchers and enhance institutional capacity. From analyzing the global impact of the African research story to participating in collaborative workshops on scaling researcher engagement, the roadshow underscored the power of pragmatic partnerships in driving measurable societal outcomes. KLISC remains committed to these international collaborations to ensure that Kenyan scholarship continues to thrive as a global force for impactful research.
