Descripción

This chapter presents the Vietnamese experience on developing institutional capacity for integrated research in developing countries. The emergence of a research group in environmental health, which was rooted from a North-South partnership research programme in Switzerland, is described, discussing in detail how it developed and became integrated as a national institution, as well as its work in addressing local needs and informed policy.
