We partner with communities around the world to develop and promote new strategies, tools and practices to achieve greater health equity. We also work with Burnet researchers to translate research findings into tangible health impacts.
We work with many communities to better understand and address the underlying factors that prevent access to crucial health care services such as family planning, postnatal and newborn care, vaccination, HIV prevention and care, and nutrition.
Our working groups work to achieve better health outcomes for vulnerable communities by:
- Advancing health literacy and communications
- Leading co-design processes with communities
- Creating meaningful local partnerships
- Disseminating best practices
- Empowering communities
- Strengthening health systems
- Improving service delivery
Our working group contributes to:
- Improving sexual and reproductive health for men and women
- Advancement of gender equality, and prevention of gender-based violence
- Increasing the capacity of health professionals, researchers, and policy makers through education and training
- Strengthening health systems so that they are more responsive to the health needs of individuals and communities
- Empowering communities to improve health seeking behaviours and health literacy
