LVCT Health invests in and utilizes data to inform policy and practice
LVCT Health’s research capacity has grown significantly, with multiple multi-year research studies conducted, partnerships established, and numerous peer-reviewed papers developed.
We have successfully facilitated the uptake of our research findings, many of which have informed policy and practice. We are committed to continuing this trajectory and scaling our efforts even further.
Our research encompasses a wide range of disciplines and areas of study, with a focus on HIV prevention, sexual violence prevention, community health systems strengthening, mental health, sexual and reproductive health, and maternal, newborn, and child health.
Our Strategic Focus
Guided by our research-policy-practice (Hatua) model, we recognise the importance of evidence-based decision-making and translating research findings into policies and practices that effectively address societal challenges and improve health outcomes.
