New Public Health Research Activity

Through the Research for Decision Makers activity, USAID supports implementation research on priority health areas, provides advisory services to the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) for health policy work, and builds health sector research capacity.

This activity will initiate eight implementation research studies on family planning, maternal and newborn health, nutrition and tuberculosis.

These studies will inform USAID and the GOB on programmatic strategies to improve utilization of health services and health outcomes.

The results of these studies will provide the evidence base to support policy analysis and programmatic guidance to assist the GOB, USAID, and other partners in strategic decision-making on health. The activity supports Bangladesh's national health policy and its investments in health.
