Over the last eight decades, many evidence-based interventions (EBIs) have been developed to reduce amenable under-5 mortality (U5M). Implementation research can help lag between discovery and delivery, including as new EBIs emerge, or existing ones are adapted based on research. Rwanda was first low-income African country implement rotavirus vaccine (RTV) also adopted Option B+ for effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) before World Health Organization's (WHO)...
Success in the implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) different settings has had variable success. Implementation research offers approach needed to understand variability health outcomes from strategies and why were successful some countries failed others. When mastered embedded into a policy framework, application by can provide policy-makers implementers with knowledge necessary work towards universal coverage (UHC) effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, fidelity...
Abstract Background Rwanda has made substantial economic progress over the past two decades. However, evidence suggests that malnutrition among children remains high in spite of this progress. This study aims to examine trends and potential risk factors associated with childhood stunting from 2000 2015 Rwanda. Methods Data for come Rwanda’s Demographic Health Surveys (DHS), a cross-sectional, population-based survey is conducted every 5 years. Following prior work, we define based on age...
Abstract Background The Exemplars in Under-5 Mortality (U5M) was a multiple cases study of how six low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal, Peru, Rwanda, Senegal, implemented health system-delivered evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to reduce U5M between 2000 2015 more effectively than others their regions or with similar economic growth. Using implementation research, we conducted cross-country analysis compare decision-making pathways for these chose,...
Background High-risk pregnancies, such as twin deserve particular attention mortality is very high in this group. With a view to inform policy and national guidelines development for the Sustainable Development Goals, we reviewed training materials, guidelines, policies underpinning provision of care relation pregnancies assessed provided twins 8 Eastern Southern African countries: Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Methods findings We located by reviewing...
Background: We describe the development and testing of a hybrid implementation research (IR) framework to understand pathways, successes, challenges in addressing amenable under-5 mortality (U5M) - deaths preventable through health system-delivered evidence-based interventions (EBIs) low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: reviewed existing IR frameworks develop designed better U5M reduction LMICs from identification leading causes U5M, EBI choice, strategies, work achieve...

Research Objective To understand how and why Rwanda implemented Evidence‐Based interventions (EBIs) faster than similar countries to reduce amenable U5 mortality (U5M) contextual factors which facilitated or hindered success. Study Design Explanatory mixed methods study using an implementation research (IR) framework adapted from existing frameworks (Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment expanded include Adaptation (EPAIS), Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research)...
