Research project summary

In partnership with Gates Ventures and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, UGHE conducted research studies on the Exemplars in Global Health project to understand strategies and contextual factors that facilitated Rwanda, Ethiopia, Senegal, Peru, Nepal, and Bangladesh to have an exceptional performance in reducing under-5 mortality (U5M) through implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) between 2000-2015, compared to their regional and socio-economic peers. During the COVID-19 period in 2021, the research study was extended to Rwanda and Bangladesh to understand if and how these two of the Exemplar countries that successfully had reduced the U5M were able to maintain the delivery of the EBIs to children under-5 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the use of an implementation research framework, the research projects helped to identify key transferable lessons for policymakers and decision-making leaders in countries that were not able the achieve the same success before the pandemic and those struggling to implement child health EBIs during COVID-19 and future pandemics.

As a follow-up project, UGHE has started to disseminate the transferable lessons by engaging policymakers, decision-makers, and implementers in countries that still have challenges to effectively implement the EBIs. Through an Executive Education program, this exercise involves introducing the leaders to implementation research, EBIs, implementation strategies, and contextual factors as well as the transferable lessons drawn from previous studies. The leaders would then go back to their home countries and implement the same strategies to reduce the U5M.
