In October 2019, Musa Ismail (University of Zalingei), Abubakr Siam (University of Al Fashir), and Anne Radday were recorded by the US Embassy in Khartoum discussing the partnership between Tufts, University of Zalingei and University of Al Fashir.

He describes how most NGOs have adopted evidence-based approaches by designing activities based on the results of studies such as this one. Watch Musa’s recording here.
