Council on Health Research for Development (COHRED)

The COHRED Group is an international non-governmental organisation, formed in 2010 as a result of a merger between the Council on Health Research for Development (COHRED) and the Global Forum for Health Research. Our primary objective is to strengthen research for health and innovation systems, with a focus on low-and-middle-income-countries (LMIC's) to achieve equity and national development. We use research for health and innovation in order to: * Improve health and reduce health inequities * Improve health sector performance and accountability * Encourage donor alignment and harmonisation * Link research for health with science, technology and innovation * Generate economic and social prosperity
