Global engagement: Promoting innovative and inclusive approaches to research

An essential part of TDR’s work is to engage with the global health community to promote and facilitate the role of research for development and to advocate for the use of high-quality evidence to inform policy. TDR is at the interface between research and health care delivery and is embedded within the UN family through its cosponsors (UNICEF, UNDP, the World Bank, and WHO). This unique positioning allows TDR to create a bridge from local communities to the World Health Assembly to enable the broadest possible scope of dialogue and debate across the spectrum of health research – from priority setting to evidence-based policy-making at local, national, regional and global levels.

This global engagement includes promoting a broad range of community-based social innovations that are transforming health care delivery, shaping the research agenda, supporting the translation of evidence to policy, and leveraging a global network of more than 7000 scientists and experts who have been associated with TDR.
