The research network was established to provide an opportunity for WHARC to mentor emerging leaders and researchers in sexual and reproductive health, across several states of Nigeria. Members of the network are obstetricians and gynecologists and researchers drawn from Rivers, Imo, Abia, Gombe and Edo States of Nigeria.
Recently, the network successfully implemented a study on ‘The perceptions of policymakers towards maternal mortality and unsafe abortion in Nigeria”. The study was funded by the Guttmacher Institute and Ipas, and has been accepted for publication in International Family Planning Perspectives.
