Join us in advancing a more just and inclusive approach to global health research.
Together, we can co-create evidence that not only informs policy but drives equitable change on the ground.
Research
Empowering equitable, community-driven research that transforms systems and shapes the future of global health.
Redefining Global Health Through Research
At Global Health Otherwise, we conduct research that challenges convention and redefines purpose. Our work centers on the operationalization of equity and the pursuit of ethical, inclusive partnerships that elevate local leadership and knowledge.
We approach research not just as a means of generating evidence but as a pathway to justice. By advancing health politics as a critical lens, we seek to understand and influence the systems of power that shape health outcomes across communities.
Through action-oriented, implementation, and operational research, we transform ideas into measurable, sustainable change. Our deep commitment to ethical engagement, critical reflection on funding practices, and community accountability ensures that every insight contributes to a fairer, more equitable world.
Why Our Research Matters
- Centering Local Leadership
- Research led with and by local actors produces more relevant questions and sustainable solutions. We prioritize local expertise, shared decision-making, and research governance that hands power to communities rather than extracting from them.
- Justice-Oriented Evidence
- We design studies that surface power dynamics and structural drivers of poor health. Our methods emphasize accountability, transparency, and the translation of findings into policies and practices that reduce inequities.
- Ethical Partnerships & Funding
- We critically interrogate how research is financed and who benefits. By forging equitable partnerships and promoting responsible funding practices, we ensure research priorities and outcomes reflect community needs and long-term sustainability.
