High quality research supervision is crucial for PhD training, yet it continues to pose challenges globally with important contextual factors impacting the quality of supervision. This article reports on responses to these challenges by a multi-institutional sub-Saharan Africa initiative (CARTA) at institutional, faculty and PhD fellow levels. The article describes the pedagogical approaches and structural mechanisms used to enhance supervision among supervisors of CARTA fellows. These include residential training for supervisors, and supervision contracts between primary supervisors and PhD fellows. The authors reflect on the processes and experiences of improving PhD supervision, and suggest research questions that CARTA and other training programmes could pursue in relation to PhD supervision in Africa and other lower- and middle-income countries. La supervision de recherches de haute qualité est cruciale pour la formation en doctorat, mais elle demeure un problème au niveau mondial, avec des facteurs contextuels importants qui impactent la qualité de la supervision. Cet article rend compte de réponses à ces défis par une initiative multi-institutionnelle pour l’Afrique subsaharienne (CARTA) aux niveaux institutionnel, professoral et des doctorants. Il décrit les approches pédagogiques et les mécanismes structurels que nous avons utilisés pour améliorer la supervision de boursiers à travers le programme CARTA. Ceux-ci incluent la formation résidentielle des superviseurs et les contrats de supervision entre superviseurs principaux et doctorants. Les auteurs réfléchissent au processus et aux expériences d’amélioration de la supervision de doctorants et suggérons des questions de recherche que CARTA et d’autres programmes de formation pourraient approfondir dans la supervision de doctorants en Afrique et dans d’autres pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire.
