Our study helped to understand the impact of trained cadre of midwives on maternal and newborn health outcomes. It also suggested strategies to effectively utilise their services in improving health outcomes.
We conducted evaluation of a health programme jointly implemented by UNICEF and Government of Bangladesh focusing on health service interventions, health system strengthening, and humanitarian support.
We conducted a thorough analysis of public expenditure on nutrition (PER-N) by the Government of Bangladesh. Our work helped to understand how nutrition goals are achieved.
