SOA FIANATRA
SOA FIANATRA is an ambitious project aimed at teaching academic blogging to scholars in the Global South, with a particular focus on Madagascar. This initiative seeks to facilitate North-South dialogue, foster the development of a robust network of emerging researchers, and bridge the gap between research and policy by utilizing blog posts based on research data. With a vision to extend its reach across the entire African continent, ARAKE aims to empower scholars and contribute to the advancement of knowledge.
At the core of SOA FIANATRA lies the aspiration to build a strong network that nurtures and empowers the next generation of researchers in Madagascar. By providing scholars with the necessary tools and skills to engage in academic blogging, the project aims to amplify their voices on the global stage. Through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and mentorship within the network, scholars in Madagascar can contribute unique perspectives and actively participate in shaping academic discourse, enriching the research landscape both locally and internationally.
SOA FIANATRA is a transformative project that recognizes the potential and talent of scholars in the Global South, particularly in Madagascar. By teaching academic blogging, fostering networks, and bridging research and policy, the project empowers researchers to actively participate in scholarly conversations and influence policy decisions. With the aim of extending its impact throughout Africa, SOA FIANATRA envisions a future where knowledge flows freely across borders, fostering collaboration and driving meaningful change. By unleashing the power of knowledge through academic blogging, the project sets the stage for a thriving research community in Madagascar and the Global South, strengthening research capacity and making a lasting impact on the African continent as a whole.
While initially focusing on Madagascar, ARAKE envisions expanding its scope to encompass the entire African continent. By leveraging the power of academic blogging and fostering collaboration among researchers, the project aims to create a pan-African network that promotes knowledge exchange and cooperation. This extension will facilitate South-North and South-South dialogue, bringing together diverse perspectives, expertise, and experiences from across Africa. Through this collective effort, SOA FIANATRA aspires to elevate the impact of African research, address pressing issues, and contribute to the continent’s sustainable development
