RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION 


We generate strong evidence and effective solutions to save, protect and improve the lives of people and

The persistence of child malnutrition, rising humanitarian needs and challenges such as natural resource management in a context of climate change, require new solutions and ways of working to be more efficient and cost-effective.

Through our research and innovation, we develop better ways to anticipate, prevent and treat malnutrition so that more children can lead healthy, productive lives and more communities can be free from hunger. We also strive to respond effectively to new challenges in the humanitarian sector.

Our approach combines science with practice, giving us the tools we need to create tangible change, even in the most challenging contexts. Our aim is to apply research within our own organisation, using a scientific, participatory and ethical approach.

Nuestra agenda de invetsigación
We maximise the use and appropriation of the evidence and knowledge generated, reducing the gap between the results of scientific research and the implementation of the results.

OUR RESEARCH AGENDA

Three main lines of work aimed at 
achieving optimal coverage of prevention, early detection and treatment services 

To increase nutritional care, household resilience and access to basic services through innovative actions. These are our three lines of work:
