We believe that collective social innovation thrives when knowledge is shared. Through our research and collaborative efforts to address iron deficiency, we co-create practical tools, insights, and knowledge mobilisation outputs that can support implementers, and change makers in Benin and beyond.
We believe research should be publicly available, accessible, and useful to everyone. Explore our open-access outputs here and below:
Experts-by-experience insights to support equitable and sustainable implementation of interventions and trials:
Youth as knowledge brokers for community nutrition information
To inform approaches for communicating health and nutrition information within communities, we engaged youth in Benin who are involved in community nutrition-related activities and committed to promoting good health within their communities. The purpose of this knowledge mobilisation activity is to report youth-informed insights on approaches for communicating health and nutrition information in ways that are relevant, trusted, understandable, and actionable for communities.
To inform training plans suitable to cross-sector/-culture collaboration, we surveyed interest-holders committed to advancing women’s health and developing sustainable solutions to tackle iron deficiency and poor nutrition in Benin and Canada. The purpose of this knowledge mobilisation activity is to report insights on factors influencing, and best approaches to conducting, training that meets the needs of participating partners.
To inform future trials and health programmes, we surveyed interest-holders committed to advancing women’s health and developing sustainable solutions to tackle iron deficiency and poor nutrition. The purpose of this knowledge mobilisation activity is to report insights on best practices and factors influencing sustainability and translatability of research to other contexts.
To better understand the factors influencing successful trial planning and monitoring and evaluating outcomes in Benin, we surveyed interest-holders committed to advancing women’s health and developing sustainable solutions to tackle iron deficiency and poor nutrition. The purpose of this knowledge mobilisation activity is to report insights on best practices that ensure monitoring and evaluation methods are effective.
To better understand how community-based research approaches can reduce barriers to recruitment and participation, we surveyed diverse interest-holders committed to advancing women’s health and equity through gender-specific and -transformative programmes that tackle iron deficiency and poor nutrition. The purpose of this knowledge mobilisation activity is to report insights on best practices that ensure trial methods actively support women’s equity and agency to participate in research and health programming that benefits them.
