Research Dissemination planning, materials and infrastructure

Research dissemination is an ethical requirement and represents fairness to the communities, but how to effectively do it calls for skill and good planning. Research outputs belong to the community. They have the problems that researchers seek to address, they are also research participants that provide the information needed to address these problems and they are the beneficiaries and end-user of research outputs.
