About Research for Development International

A lot is known from health research, but little research results are translated into practices that improve the wellbeing of the populations in LMIC. Viewing this know-do-gap in health research as a critical impediment to the value of research and the development of local communities, these professionals created R4D International with the vision to facilitate translation of research results into practices in developing countries. Our vision : To close the know-do-gap in health and development by linking the research community with the health and community systems in order to facilitate translation of research results into practices that improve the development of the communities in resource limited settings. Our mission : To support development institutions in developing countries to translate research into policy and policy into practices that improved the living conditions of the populations and most specifically the grass root dwellers and this through advocacy and implementation of evidence-based practices. Our core strategy : To advocate for implementation of evidence-based practices that are safe, affordable, accessible, feasible and acceptable in resource limited settings.
