N1 - Funding Information: Emerging from the 1994 genocide, Rwanda is a relatively young country that is rebuilding its health and economic infrastructure. As a result of the 1994 conflict, the health system was depleted of human resources and educational and structural infrastructure. A large part of rebuilding the rapidly developing health system is the implementation and assessment of health programmes and interventions. Many such assessments are done under the guidance of the Ministry of Health and are often funded by international bodies. However, in view of human resource constraints, and pressing needs that stretch resources, such assessments are rarely shared within the published medical literature. A new emphasis on building research communication infrastructure is a mandate of the current government. Four main issues are related to this challenge: the cultural perception of the value of research; workload demands; skills (both long-term and short-term); and the effect and agendas of internal and external agencies and forces. Here we elaborate on these challenges and outline next steps in Rwanda's rebuilding of its health research system.
