HRP Alliance in action: Strengthening research capacity among migrant populations in the Americas

Overview

The HRP Alliance supports research capacity strengthening by bringing together institutions conducting research in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). At the center of the HRP Alliance are seven regional ‘hubs’ to empower and stimulate the research capacity of SRHR partner institutions, providing regional leadership through scholarships, training, fellowships and institutional mentorship.

This story shows the importance of putting effort and investment towards understanding the dynamics and challenges of vulnerable groups, such as migrant populations. The hub for the Americas did not shy away from making migrants their primary target group, training local researchers to reach the often-neglected populations in research. Empowering young researchers, while mapping the SRHR challenges of migrants, is the success for the Americas hub.
