i4C - Strengthening International Collaboration for Capitalizing on Cost-Effective and Life-Saving Commodities
i4C was a consortium of researchers and partnering institutions seeking to increase access to life-saving medicines and health supplies for the world’s most vulnerable people.
i4C was a consortium of researchers and partnering institutions seeking to increase access to life-saving medicines and health supplies for the world’s most vulnerable people.
The i4C project brought together a consortium of researchers and partner institutions to evaluate policy interventions that aimed to secure access to basic health commodities in low and middle income countries. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) was leading the project in collaboration with the Global Strategy Lab (GSL) at York University (Toronto, Canada), and was being supported by a Research Council of Norway four-year operating grant of 24.7 million kroner from 2015 to 2019.
Improving access to health commodities
The project evaluated eight international policy interventions directed at supporting the implementation of recommendations issued by the United Nations Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and Children (UNCoLSC). In particular, the project focused on improving access and strengthening innovation. The interdisciplinary project team evaluated interventions such as free trade agreements, advocacy, international treaties, and new economic models for research and development.
