The project was a collaborative effort between the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Dar es Salaam and the Kigali Institute of Education. The research design had embedded within it clear process goals to develop research capacity in a spirit of equal partnership. This synthesis report compares and contrasts the research findings from Rwanda and Tanzania. It is accompanied by individual country reports for Rwanda and Tanzania but can be read separately from these. These unpublished reports are available on request from DFID. The overall aim of the research was to create a context-relevant knowledge base about the implications for education and training policy of globalisation in two low income sub-Saharan African countries. The research was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002 in three phases. Phase one was a preparation and piloting stage including a full literature review and preparation of research instruments. Phase two was largely devoted to data gathering with emphasis given to qualitative single and group interviews of a representative range of stakeholders, document analysis and in-country workshops. Phase three was demarcated as one of data analysis and dissemination including a regional dissemination workshop.enGlobalisationDevelopmentSkillsRwandaTanzaniaBook chapter
