Harnessing innovation & evidence for impact at scale
OPHID Incubators are the engine of policy and programme innovations and evidence we have become known for by partners, donors and health systems stakeholders, and contribute to the local and international evidence-base.
Incubators are research and pilot programs implemented in OPHID-supported regions at a smaller scale that develop and test cutting-edge solutions to public health and development problems.
Co-creation with affected communities are the heart of OPHID incubators.
We work with individuals, households and frontline health workers to develop solutions that have sustained impact on health and development.
Our incubator projects have resulted in over 10 productive collaborations with academic, private philanthropic and bi-lateral donors to test, refine and scale innovations that have impacted national policies and programs and changed the lives of millions.
