MMS Bulletin on IR
MMS Measurement and evaluation as well as looking for evidence: Implementation Research on projects and programmes is of increasing importance within health cooperation. But how does good Implementation Research look like? What are the obstacles for health NGOs in doing Implementation Research? This MMS Bulletin deals with an issue of practical and political relevance.
MMS/ISPM The study provides a qualitative overview of existing strategies, practices and capacities on how Implementation Research (IR) is done by members of the network Medicus Mundi Switzerland (MMS). MMS’s strategy describes the importance of IR for its network. MMS initiated a study about IR to provide (i) a qualitative overview and (ii) a learning process to promote NGO led research. IR is a scientific inquiry into questions concerning the act of fulfilling or carrying out a practice or an intervention. IR is a young, ambitious research field gaining importance in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals.
MMS The network Medicus Mundi Switzerland mandated a qualitative study on the existing practices and capacities regarding implementation research by Swiss NGOs (MMS members) working in in the field of international health cooperation. The results of this study identified challenges, bottlenecks and possible solutions on how to overcome them. At the MMS Workshop the implementation research concept and the findings of the study were discussed.
MMI The MMI discussion paper on health cooperation and its relevance, legitimacy and effectiveness was discussed at the workshop “Health cooperation beyond aid” in Berlin, on 29 September 2016, and published afterwards: “The document is not intended to be a position paper representing a homogeneous view of the Network. It is a discussion paper that feeds a core activity of the MMI Network; to serve as a platform for critical reflection on the role and future direction of development cooperation for health. We invite the members of the MMI working group on Effective Health Cooperation (MMI EHC) and other Network members and partners to engage in this process.” (pdfI

Warum gelingt es uns nicht, die gesundheitliche Lage von Millionen von Menschen zu verbessern? Die im letzten Jahr von Medicus Mundi International (MMI) gegründete Arbeitsgruppe zum Thema "Effective Health Cooperation" hat zum Ziel, die eigene Arbeit zu reflektieren und kritisch zu hinterfragen und den Dialog zwischen den Akteuren in der internationalen Gesundheitszusammenarbeit zu fördern.
