The NIHR Global Health Research Centre for Non-communicable Diseases and Environmental Change (NIHR-GHRC (NCDs & EC)) is committed to strengthen the research capacity with an aim to enhance the evidence-to-policy ecosystem for our partner countries and collaborative institutes. The Centre is adopting a four-pronged approach, to deliver tailored country-specific initiatives, building resilience and sustainability as well as foster collaborative efforts to bridge capacity gaps.
