Article Synopsis
- - The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) supports university faculty in Africa to enhance their doctoral training through funding and seminars, aiming to improve both individual and institutional development.
- - An exploratory qualitative study involving 21 fellows from six African countries analyzed the CARTA program's impact on fellows' research skills and professional growth, using data from focus group discussions.
- - Results showed that participation in the CARTA program significantly enhanced fellows' research capabilities, multidisciplinary approaches, and leadership skills, while also leading to an increase in peer-reviewed publications, despite gaps during seminar breaks.
Background: In 2011, South Africa committed to promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for six months for all mothers, regardless of HIV status, in line with World Health Organization recommendations. This was a marked shift from earlier policies, and with it, average EBF rates increased from less than 10% in 2011 to 32% by 2016.
Objectives: The aim of this mixed-methods systematic review was to describe EBF practices in South Africa and their multi-level influences over four policy periods.
