About us

There is no framework, benchmark or standard on best practice for governmental, corporate, non-profit, or academic collaborations, especially for international collaborative research and innovation involving low- and middle-income countries and this is where the Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) intends to make a difference.

The RFI is an organisational learning tool that encourages governments, business, organisations, research / academic institutions and funders to describe how they take measures to create trusting, lasting, transparent and effective partnerships in research and innovation – and how they plan to improve their practices moving forward.

The RFI tool is a  which aims to improve international research partnerships in all sectors by creating a global learning platform for fair and equitable research partnerships. We aim to contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 for partnership.
