Abstract
Health research initiatives worldwide are growing in scope and complexity, particularly as they move into the developing world. Expanding health research activity in low‐ and middle‐income countries has resulted in a commensurate rise in the need for sound ethical review structures and functions in the form of Research Ethics Committees (RECs). Yet these seem to be lagging behind as a result of the enormous challenges facing these countries, including poor resource availability and lack of capacity. There is thus an urgent need for ongoing capacity and resource development in these regions in general, and in Africa in particular. Similarly, there is a need for research and initiatives that can identify existing capacity and funding and indicate the areas where this needs to be developed. This discussion paper argues that the Mapping African Research Ethics Capacity (MARC) project is a timely initiative aimed at identifying existing capacity. MARC provides a platform and tool on the Council on Health Research for Development's (COHRED) Health Research website (HRWeb), which can be used by RECs and key stakeholders in health research in Africa to identify capacity, constraints and development needs. MARC intends to provide the first comprehensive interactive database of RECs in Africa, which will allow for the identification of key relationships and analyses of capacity. The potential of MARC lies in the mapping of current ethical review activity onto capacity needs. This paper serves as a starting point by providing a descriptive illustration of the current state of RECs in Africa.

MARC provides a platform and tool on the Council on Health Research for Development's (COHRED) Health Research website (<hi rend="italic">HRWeb</hi>), which can be used by RECs and key stakeholders in health research in Africa to identify capacity, constraints and development needs. MARC intends to provide the first comprehensive interactive database of RECs in Africa, which will allow for the identification of key relationships and analyses of capacity. The potential of MARC lies in the mapping of current ethical review activity onto capacity needs. This paper serves as a starting point by providing a descriptive illustration of the current state of RECs in Africa.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords xml:lang="en"><term xml:id="k1">Africa</term><term xml:id="k2">Research Ethics Committee</term><term xml:id="k3">capacity</term><term xml:id="k4">HRWeb</term><term xml:id="k5">MARC</term><term xml:id="k6">mapping</term></keywords><keywords rend="tocHeading1"><term>ARTICLES</term></keywords></textClass><langUsage><language ident="en"></language></langUsage></profileDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/ABC5318469C432C530FFB7DB04DBDAFEA9BB92F1/fulltext/txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="Wiley, elements deleted: body"><istex:xmlDeclaration>version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"</istex:xmlDeclaration><istex:document><component version="2.0" type="serialArticle" xml:lang="en"><header><publicationMeta level="product"><publisherInfo><publisherName>Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisherName><publisherLoc>Oxford, UK</publisherLoc></publisherInfo><doi origin="wiley" registered="yes">10.1111/(ISSN)1471-8847</doi><issn type="print">1471-8731</issn><issn type="electronic">1471-8847</issn><idGroup><id type="product" value="DEWB"></id><id type="publisherDivision" value="ST"></id></idGroup><titleGroup><title type="main" sort="DEVELOPING WORLD BIOETHICS">Developing World Bioethics</title></titleGroup></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="part" position="08102"><doi origin="wiley">10.1111/dewb.2012.12.issue-2</doi><numberingGroup><numbering type="journalVolume" number="12">12</numbering><numbering type="journalIssue" number="2">2</numbering></numberingGroup><coverDate startDate="2012-08">August 2012</coverDate></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="unit" type="article" position="4" status="forIssue"><doi origin="wiley">10.1111/j.1471-8847.2012.00325.x</doi><idGroup><id type="unit" value="DEWB325"></id></idGroup><countGroup><count type="pageTotal" number="13"></count></countGroup><titleGroup><title type="tocHeading1">ARTICLES</title></titleGroup><copyright>© 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.</copyright><eventGroup><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:BPG_TO_WML3G version:3.1.5.1 mode:FullText" date="2012-07-09"></event><event type="publishedOnlineEarlyUnpaginated" date="2012-04-18"></event><event type="firstOnline" date="2012-04-18"></event><event type="publishedOnlineFinalForm" date="2012-07-09"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WILEY_ML3G_TO_WILEY_ML3GV2 version:3.8.8" date="2014-01-17"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WML3G_To_WML3G version:4.3.4 mode:FullText" date="2015-02-25"></event></eventGroup><numberingGroup><numbering type="pageFirst" number="74">74</numbering><numbering type="pageLast" number="86">86</numbering></numberingGroup><correspondenceTo>Debbie Marais, COHRED – R&D, University of KwaZulu‐Natal, P/Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
