The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) partner with institutions responsible for public health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to strengthen national capacity and work collaboratively to develop research knowledge aimed at reducing NCD risks and promoting mental health and well-being.
Africa Center for Disease Control (Africa CDC)
As a dedicated partner with Africa CDC, we support the African Mental Health Leadership Programme (AMHLP). This initiative aims to foster better mental health policies, funding, legislation, and advocacy. By equipping leaders with human rights and public health strategies, AMHLP seeks to address mental health challenges and advance healthcare workforce development across Africa.
Implementation research
Implementing evidence-based methods, guidelines, interventions, or policies into practice presents challenges due to barriers and facilitators at various contextual levels. We utilize implementation science as a foundational framework to systematically integrate research findings into routine practices. This involves testing the effectiveness of programs and policies, as well as investigating their successful application in real-world settings.
Key focus areas include assessing the impact on health outcomes, and evaluating aspects such as acceptability, adoption, feasibility, cost, and sustainability. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the broader factors affecting implementation, such as health system organization and governance, as well as the influence of global institutions and policy processes, especially in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
