BRANCH Knowledge Translation Resources
A range of knowledge translation materials have been developed to help disseminate BRANCH key research findings and recommendations on the impact of conflict on women’s, newborns’, children’s, and adolescents’ health needs (WCH). The aim of these materials is to increase the uptake of these findings among a wide range of stakeholders, as well as offer several policy asks and recommendations to strengthen the delivery of health services to women, newborns, children, and adolescents in conflict settings.
