Abstract
This study was designed to critically examine and evaluate the organisation,
policy frameworks and governance structures of transnational research
partnerships in six universities in Kenya and Uganda, and how they interface
with national development. Traditionally, universities in the two countries
have embraced transnational partnerships mostly as a source of revenue and
academic capacity building. The focus has since then shifted to enhancing
institutional reputation and ranking. Findings show that the study universities
have put in place structures that govern the partnerships. Some benefits
associated with transnational partnerships in these universities are building
teaching and research capacity and development of curriculum. Challenges
experienced include inadequate funding and low university investment in
research in both Kenya and Uganda
