As part of the Agency for All project, consortium members launched a new USAID/West Africa field supported activity titled “Capacity Strengthening of Local Institutions To Accelerate The Ouagadougou Partnership Research Agenda.” The vision of this two-year capacity strengthening initiative is to support the OPCU Research Agenda and grantees through a co-created work plan to enhance the institutional and individual capacity of grantees to conduct research that will generate new/strengthen evidence on effective strategies to improve family planning/reproductive health and maternal, newborn, child health (MNCH) outcomes on the individual and community levels, and also lead knowledge application and research uptake efforts that will catalyze health-system strengthening and lead to improved cross-sector health outcomes. From October to November 2023, a Baseline Capacity Assessment was conducted to assess the capacities of grantee institutions to ensure that capacity strengthening activities would be reflective of and tailored to the unique needs and contexts of each institution.
