Topic: COHRED Record Paper 1

Description: Summary points:
* The failure of the malaria eradication programme in some developing countries illustrates the failure of those countries to coordinate their health research activities.
* Coordination is needed to use scarce resources effectively but also to identify priorities and communicate these to policy makers and the public.
* After years of Tanzanian health research institutions failing to collaborate, they have now joined in a national health forum.
* The forum has already identified research priorities and is setting out an ethical framework for research.
