Could anyone point me towards any papers investigating research/audit capacity in resource poor settings (low and middle income countries)?
I'm interested in looking at work being undertaken in this area, but it seems to be rather neglected and I haven't turned up much on PubMed or Google Scholar. Audit in particular is an essential component of local quality improvement, yet from my recent experience of working in the Republic of Congo and Rwanda, this is an area in need of considerable development.
Many thanks!
Hi,
there was a supplement to the International Journal for Quality in Health Care about ten years ago, some of the papers are still quite relevant. You can find them here:

Hope this is useful.
