Hello Lionel, welcome to the community!

It’s inspiring to see your strong commitment to advancing Africa’s potential through research and collaboration. Your openness to learning from experienced researchers while building meaningful institutional partnerships reflects the spirit needed to strengthen research across the continent.

Welcome, Lionel, and thank you for this open invitation to collaborate. I lead Purpose Rwanda, a peer-led addiction recovery and prevention organization here in Kigali, and we are currently working toward more rigorous evidence generation for our community-based model, including early steps toward a randomized controlled trial.
West African perspectives and partnerships would genuinely enrich this work, addiction and community health challenges rarely stay confined to one region's context alone. I would welcome the chance to learn more about Innovative Solution Research Consult's focus areas and explore where our work might intersect.
Looking forward to connecting.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. It's a pleasure to connect with you.

I'm truly encouraged by the important work Purpose Rwanda is doing in advancing peer-led addiction recovery and prevention. Your commitment to strengthening the evidence base through rigorous research, including moving toward a randomized controlled trial, is both timely and inspiring.

At Innovative Solution Research Consult (ISRC), our work focuses on research design and implementation, impact evaluations, data collection and management, statistical analysis, mixed-methods research, monitoring and evaluation, and evidence-based policy and program support across public health, education, social development, and economic sectors. We are particularly interested in building research capacity and generating high-quality evidence that informs policy and practice across Africa.

I completely agree that addiction and community health challenges transcend national boundaries, and I believe there is significant potential for collaboration between our organizations. I would be delighted to schedule a conversation to learn more about Purpose Rwanda's model and discuss opportunities for joint research, capacity building, grant applications, and knowledge exchange.

I look forward to continuing this conversation and exploring how we can work together to create meaningful impact across our region.

Thank you, Lionel, this is genuinely encouraging, and ISRC's focus areas, particularly impact evaluations, statistical analysis, and mixed-methods research, align closely with exactly where Purpose Rwanda needs support as we move toward RCT design.
My email is anyama@purposerwanda.org. I would very much welcome scheduling a conversation to explore this further, including how ISRC's expertise might strengthen our trial design, and where broader collaboration on capacity building or joint research might make sense.
Please suggest a time that works for you, and I will make myself available.
Looking forward to it.
