Initiative
To strengthen implementation research within NGO programmes, there is a need for building up research skills and capacities within the organisations and for training programmes for NGO staff both at Headquarter and field level. Moreover, it is a challenge for many NGOs to find the necessary financial means. Implementation research should be stronger supported by donors. The organisers would like to launch the idea of an exchange platform for implementation health research.
Aims of the Side Event
- Participants get to know different approaches and best practices of implementation research embedded within NGO health programmes and discuss scenarios and possible instruments to strengthen implementation research in Switzerland
- The side event opens the debate on the Initiative
- PR for an Implementation Research Platform within the Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland
One of our Key Note Speakers is John Reeder (Director, Special Programme for Research & Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), World Health Organization, Geneva.)
Next to the Side Event Medicus Mundi Switzerland will be present at ECTMIH during the whole days with an information booth where we present our member organisations and ourself.
