Our Work
Our Approach
Our work is anchored in a Research-Policy-Practice (RPP) framework — the Hatua Model — through which we translate evidence into real-world health impact. We pilot innovative solutions to challenges grounded in community and national priorities, then scale what works for lasting population-level change.
The Hatua Model
1. Research:
Identify gaps and test innovative, cost-effective solutions through implementation science.
2. Policy Influence:
Translate evidence into national standards, guidelines, and norms — from FGS screening to HIV prevention.
3. Practice:
Scale validated approaches with government and partners.
