Research Overview
We support countries to fulfil the Global Strategy for Women, Children and Adolescents 2016-2030. Our goal is to build strong health systems that will provide timely, quality maternal, sexual and reproductive health (MSRH) services that are acceptable, affordable and accessible for all.
From 2017 - 2021, we aim to:
- Work with governments and development partners to design, implement and evaluate initiatives to improve maternal, sexual and reproductive health service quality and utilisation.
- Undertake rigorous research to generate evidence for better MSRH outcomes.
- Create a capable health workforce through education, training and practical interventions.
- Strengthen monitoring and reporting of maternal, sexual and reproductive health in order to measure progress and identify needs.
