Health Research Program
Using surveys, evaluations, and studies to support evidence-based action.
Overview
The Health Research Program generates the knowledge and evidence that drives WHI-SL's work. Through surveys, evaluations, health studies, and research partnerships, we build the evidence base for locally relevant health interventions in Sierra Leone.
The Challenge
