It also puts our research at the heart of UK and International development policy and interest, as evident in on-going post-MDGs debates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> The research team includes 15 world-class researchers from the three countries and has a good gender balance. Although Lancaster University is the lead partner, we offer significant leadership roles to Southern partners especially in terms of data collection and analysis. We will also train 20 young researchers and graduate students in Bangladesh and Tanzania.
