In addition to supporting evidence generation, Madiro supports the development and dissemination of high-quality research through capacity building and collaboration. By working closely with partners in global health and academia, we strengthen organizations’ ability to document, analyse, and communicate their findings effectively. Madiro provides tailored guidance and mentorship in scientific writing, data interpretation, and publication strategy to ensure that research evidence is translated into impactful outputs. Through this support, we not only help emerging organizations monitor and evaluate their impact but also empower them to share their knowledge and amplify the reach of their work.

CHALLENGES

Key challenges in advancing research and knowledge sharing

Many early-stage initiatives face barriers to documenting and sharing their learnings and impact; insights that could both enhance their visibility and contribute to global knowledge. Strengthening research capacity and enabling broader dissemination requires addressing several key challenges:

Limited Research Capacity: Insufficient technical expertise, mentorship, and infrastructure to design and analyse rigorous studies.

Gaps in Scientific Writing Skills: Difficulty translating field data into publishable research and navigating the publication process.

Limited Collaborations: Limited opportunities for partnerships with academic institutions and global institutions.

Addressing these areas will help organizations raise their profile and share their impact more widely in the global health community.
