The Impact of Food Systems Research Network for Africa Fellowship Programme on Fellows’ Professional Development at Endline, 2023-2024

A dataset was created from responses to a fellows endline survey conducted to assess changes in professional development of Food Systems Research Network for Africa (FSNet-Africa) fellows since the beginning of the FSNet-Africa Fellowship, which is part of an early career researcher development program. The survey specifically targeted 20 FSNet-Africa fellows from higher education institutions in Africa. Its objective was to assess fellows' professional development in the following areas: networks and visibility, potential, skills development, performance improvement, and personal growth across eight dimensions of professional development. These dimensions include conducting integrated research, research data management, integrating gender in research, research ethics, monitoring and evaluation, disseminating research findings, and stakeholder engagement.
