Projects

Current Projects

Our projects span health system strengthening, technology adoption, and implementation science — generating evidence that informs policy and enables scale.

Innovation · Maternal Health

PATH4AIPOCUS

The PATH4AIPOCUS Project is a three-year initiative funded by the Gates Foundation. The project aligns with national and global Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Nutrition Health (MNCNH) priorities by supporting the development, validation, and scale-up of Artificial Intelligence–enabled Point-of-Care Ultrasound (AI-POCUS) within antenatal care (ANC) services in Nigeria. The project aims to generate robust evidence on health system readiness — including service delivery regulations, policy alignment, competency frameworks, financing mechanisms, and implementation feasibility — to inform sustainable integration of AI-enabled POCUS into routine maternal healthcare in resource-constrained settings.

Landscape Analysis · Africa & Asia

Midwife-led Enterprise Assessment

The Midwife-led Enterprises Assessment project aims to assess the viability of private, midwife-led enterprises in improving access and uptake of maternal and newborn health services across Africa and Asia. Through a mixed-methods landscape analysis, the project will identify scalable business models, evaluate financial sustainability, and explore how these enterprises enhance women’s economic empowerment and integrate with national health systems.
