The African Health Initiative’s Role in Advancing the Use of Embedded Implementation Research for Health Systems Strengthening

The embedded implementation research (EIR) approach involves engaging policy makers and decision makers at each stage from the design to the dissemination of research and increases the likelihood of the use of research evidence to better inform policy and management decisions. The African Health Initiative is an example of a public enterprise that has demonstrated success in developing domestic research capacity and strengthening health systems in sub-Saharan Africa by integrating the EIR approach into its projects. Further efforts and investments are needed to increase the sustainability and scalability of the EIR approach to improve the performance of national health systems.
