This study aimed at comprehensive situation analysis of health research institutions in the Region.Methods:

We contacted 575 institutions, of which, 223 [38.8%] responded, indicating that they conducted population research [82%]. Reported studies were mostly in medicine, public health and epidemiology, while reported capacity building mainly focused on scientific writing [20.6%], research proposal writing [18%] and quantitative research methods [17%]. Most institutions reported having collaborating partners [82%] predominantly national [77%]. Sixty-four percent of institutions received their own funding, with 48% reporting always having access to national databases.Conclusion:
