- Tools for knowledge mobilization: creating research summaries Tools
- This Knowledge Mobilisation Tool Kit describes the process undertaken to develop clear language research summaries. Using a common template, research summaries were developed by the KMb Unit at York University to capture the results and impacts of research. These summaries communicate the key messages of research findings in a simple and effective format. Summaries were written by York students and staff trained in clear language writing and design principles, and were approved by the researchers. This is part of the DRUSSA Learning Resource.

- Guide for African science media officers Tools
- Good reporting of science in the media is vital in drawing the attention of both policymakers and the public to the important role that science and technology can play in achieving sustainable development, and press officers can contribute significantly to helping science journalists ensure that this happens. This guide provides a comprehensive introduction to the techniques that press officers can use to create a close and supportive working relationship with the journalist community. It deserves to be widely read – and followed – in African institutions. This is part of the DRUSSA Learning Resource.

- Growing knowledge: access to research in east and southern African universities Reports
- This study, commissioned and funded by Arcadia, explores the many interrelated issues surrounding researchers' access to the latest academic information in east and southern Africa. It presents the findings of a 12-month, four-country study, focused on four institutions: Chancellor College (University of Malawi), the University of Nairobi (Kenya), the National University of Rwanda, and the University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). It finds that academics and students in east and southern Africa - and across the wider continent - have an impressive range of high-quality peer-reviewed material available to them, including many of the leading journals from major international publishers. However, getting this material used in the day-to-day research and teaching activities of universities remains a challenge.
