How We Work

Join Us in Advancing Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health

Support research, collaborate on implementation, strengthen health systems, and help scale evidence-based solutions across Africa and beyond.

Research Mentorship & Training

We believe stronger health systems are built through shared learning, mentorship, and collaboration. There are 3 ways to engage with our work in Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health + Nutrition [RMNCAH+N].

To date, we’ve supported 10+ PhD and 30+ Master’s and Bachelor’s students to completion. Most of our staff started in this pipeline.

10+ PhD Scholars
30+ Master's & Bachelor's

For students and early-career researchers

PhD, Master’s, and Bachelor’s placements with hands-on supervision, field exposure, and training in research methods, data analysis, and scientific writing. Mentorship is tied to active projects so learning is applied from day one.

For mid-career professionals

Short courses, secondments, and technical attachments for M&E officers, program managers, clinicians, and Ministry of Health staff looking to strengthen skills in implementation research, data use, and evidence synthesis.

For academics and practitioners

Opportunities to co-supervise, co-teach, and collaborate on studies across Uganda and the region.

Community of Practice for RMNCAH+N

An open platform for anyone working to improve RMNCAH+N outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa.

What happens in the CoP:

  • Monthly learning sessions and webinars on new evidence, tools, and implementation lessons
  • Peer exchange on what works, what doesn’t, and why
  • Access to technical briefs, training materials, and anonymized datasets from our projects
  • Co-creation of policy briefs and joint publications

Who’s in it: Researchers, program implementers, policymakers, clinicians, nutritionists, students, M&E specialists, and civil society actors. Membership is free and open across the region.

Collaborate on Evidence and Learning

If you have a program, dataset, or research question, we can work with you to generate and use evidence that informs decisions.

This includes joint studies, secondary data analysis, evaluation design, and learning reviews. We prioritize collaborations that strengthen local capacity and feed directly into policy and practice.
