Our research

We are a multi-disciplinary team of researchers that make use of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our research projects cover global, national, local and individual perspectives, and the quality of our research is dependent on collaboration with international and local policy makers, researchers, local organisations and end users in the countries where we work.

 

Health and welfare for all
Effective interventions exist for many of the world’s biggest challenges in health and social welfare. However, many people still have no access to essential services, often because of economical, socio-political, or physical constraints. At our department we study the barriers to universal access to health and social services and the manner in which high-quality services can be implemented.
