| Abstract | As part of its ongoing skills development programme, the Regional Network fort Equity in Health in East and Southern Africa (EQUINET) has committed to developing the writing skills of health equity researchers in the region, particularly with regards to writing for peer reviewed journals, as well as for improving writing skills on EQUINET Discussion Papers. This workshop took place as part of the post-conference activities of the EQUINET conference September 2009 on Reclaiming the Resources for Health. It was convened by Rebecca Pointer under the auspices of Training and Research Support Centre. The workshop used the EQUINET writing skills raining manual found as its core resource material (at http://www.equinetafrica.org/bibl/docs/EQ%20Writskill%20man.pdf) . The workshop sought to equip researchers with a basic step-by-step approach to writing for peer reviewed journals, and to approach scientific writing as a routine process. The participants were those working on publications in areas related to health equity from countries in east and southern Africa. |
