Abstract

Communities that are more involved in research are more likely to share information, take ownership of successful solutions, and push for lasting change in women's and children's health. Identifying women and men champions and supporting women's leadership can help to influence peers. This policy brief provides examples of the participatory approach as it translates to health policy in Tanzania; decrease of newborn deaths in Mozambique; and “Changing norms at a national scale in Senegal.”
