Research and Evaluation

SHOPS Plus conducts programmatically relevant research and evaluation to inform country activities, demonstrate impact, and contribute to the generation and use of global evidence in priority health areas, including family planning and reproductive health, HIV, child health, and tuberculosis.

Global Studies: Contributing to global private sector knowledge

SHOPS Plus global research makes important contributions to the global evidence on private sector health in the areas of family planning, HIV, and child health across multiple countries. The research seeks to answer key questions such as where sick children are taken for care and where women acquire family planning methods. SHOPS Plus also conducts modeling analysis to explore the potential role of the private health sector in increasing access to modern contraceptive methods. Learn more about our global studies.
