Strengthen knowledge translation between academics and policy makers by 2020 to build evidence based SRHR policies

As an international research platform ANSER commits to foster interaction and knowledge sharing between academics and policy makers to accelerate the ICPD promises. The members will do so through cutting-edge joint research projects, weighing in on current policy debates and hosting innovative training programs. That way, ANSER will help to build evidence based sexual and reproductive health policies that ensure adequacy and effectiveness when advancing the ICPD agenda.
