Description

The detailed design for the research will be done by the consortia as they develop their proposals and will form the scope of work. The research should provide new knowledge about how to deliver basic curative and preventative health services across different health care programmes. Operational research is particularly needed to inform and strengthen basic health services at the district and primary care level. We especially need more evidence on how to deliver and sustain services in fragile and post-conflict states, where systems are weak and governments less able to offer and sustain essential services. Research should also address the social, gender related, economic and behavioural factors behind successful programme implementation. We welcome a focus on health services for communicable disease control (e.g. malaria, TB and neglected tropical diseases) because these will remain a priority focus for DFID.
