About Event

Sherry Ahirirwe, a research scientist at ACRES, talks about the development of a national health research agenda in Uganda that has traditionally relied on expert opinion and disease burden. However, this approach has limitations. To address this, ACRES is leading an effort to create an evidence gap map of all health research conducted in Uganda between 2010 and 2022. This map will inform the revision of the 2010 Health Research Agenda in collaboration with the Uganda National Health Research Organisation and the Ministry of Health. This map will guide the next phase of priority setting, involving stakeholder engagement through an online survey, Delphi exercises, and a physical meeting. ACRES aims to update the evidence gap map periodically, making it publicly available to guide research and access to evidence.
