- Mapping inequalities,
- Identifying commercial and systemic barriers,
- co-creating community-led solutions,
- Building local capacities,
- Enabling responsive local research, and
- Measuring outcomes to drive better policy and outcomes.
It spans Colombia, Brazil, Kenya, and India with leadership from UCL and NIHR funding.
