Through the ICON programme, I was able to do a research stay at the University of Dodoma (Tanzania). It is very important to be able to work on site with local researchers. In my case, we were able to discuss the country's priority policies, the available data and possible interesting analyses that we could carry out to contribute to their development. It has also allowed me to share and receive knowledge about my area of research. I am sure that the results will have an important impact and that we will continue collaborating with local researchers.
