Experiences of research-into-use programmes in the WASH sphere

Delivering high-quality research can be challenging. But achieving research uptake – impact on policy or other aspects of the “real world” – is enormously challenging.

This report by Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) explores the experiences of SHARE, REACH and the Urban Sanitation Research Initiative of designing and delivering research-into-use programmes. 

The report identifies the major challenges the three UK Department for International Development funded programmes have faced in achieving research uptake. It also discusses strategies that have been used or will be used to overcome these challenges.
