Strong leadership combined with innovative activities across our four core cross-cutting themes is vital to the success of the Centre for IMPACT.
Monitoring, Evaluation and LearningOur Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning strategy has four objectives:
- Enhance accountability for the Centre’s work
- Stimulate learning and improved performance across program themes.
- Facilitate informed decision-making by the Secretariat and stakeholders
- Increase the ownership of MEL activities among implementing teams
Capacity StrengtheningCapacity Strengthening is a key part of the Centre for IMPACTs mission to improve the academic, administrative, and finance management capacity of its partner institutions. It aims to empower researchers in our partner institutions, as well as improve capacity in the institutions themselves.
Crucial to this mission is the development of a peer support network, a mentoring scheme, the establishment of Learning Sets for finance teams, academic leadership, and implementation science, as well as the hiring of students and postdoctoral researchers across all partners.
Knowledge Exchange, Dissemination and ImpactKnowledge Exchange, Dissemination, and Impact are critical components of research projects, focusing on the distribution, application, and influence of research findings. These elements ensure that research does not remain confined to academic circles but reaches and benefits broader audiences, including practitioners, policymakers, and the public.
The Knowledge Exchange, Dissemination and Impact working group aims:
- to ensure that information is shared between Centre partners and Research Themes as needed—view our Centre newsletter, Centre Connect, here!Â
- to support effective engagement, dissemination, and impact activities
- to ensure ongoing engagement and dissemination with stakeholders (academic, policy, and practice)
- to strengthen the capacity of the Centre for knowledge exchange and stakeholder engagement
Why does it matter?
Knowledge Exchange, Dissemination, and Impact activities help bridge the gap between research and practice, making research findings accessible, relevant, and beneficial to a broad range of stakeholders, thereby contributing directly and indirectly to positive outcomes among affected groups.

Community Engagement and InvolvementThe Community Engagement and Involvement Working Group, including researchers, patients and the public will oversee development and monitor delivery of a tailored Community Engagement and Involvement strategy for the Centre for IMPACT that:
- Identifies and addresses training needs of the range of stakeholders.
- Pays attention to and tackles inherent power imbalances between different groups.
- Values the expertise and unique perspectives of those living with the health problem being researched.
This includes, for example, ensuring appropriate reimbursement, creating an environment in which everyone is empowered to share their views, and equitable involvement in decision-making.
