Brief Description |
COHRED believes that national research and innovation capacity are key to health, equity and development. Strong national systems can use research to find solutions to health problems whilst promoting partnerships that can improve access to these solutions in a way that benefits everyone. Investment in these national systems generates sustainable health, equity and socio-economic development. To support national research and innovation capacity development, we provide technical support for building strong research for health systems in low and middle income countries. Our support activities often include the analysis of the research system in place, leading to a better understanding of areas where strengthening efforts may be focused. Furthermore, we recommend specific strengthening actions and offer professional guidance in support to those actions in areas such as governance, management and coordination to advance national research oversight; priority setting to provide stakeholder input into the establishment of research agendas; and policy development to provide vision for national research development. We share our experiences with high income countries and their institutions, business and citizens – in support of their actions in low and middle income countries. We connect, advocate, and monitor progress towards health, equity and development through research and innovation in countries and globally. |
