“We have emphasized the importance of applied action research because it allows evidence-based policy and program development and a focus on learning. We are also committed to using a participatory approach in which local people, local program managers and providers, local researchers, women's health activists, and national decision-makers play the leading role. International "experts" from technical assistance agencies or universities can make important contributions, but they certainly don't have all the answers.” PeopleImportantPlayActionDecisionAnswersRolesFocusPolicyDevelopmentApproachResearchEvidenceProgramImportanceUniversityInternationalCommittedLocalsManagersExpertsAgencyContributionActivistMakersAssistanceResearchersProvidersDecision MakersImportant ContributionsWomen's Health Author:Ruth Simmons
