Ipact Specialises in Maternal and Newborn Health Programme Evaluation
Ipact is part of Immpact, an internationally recognised maternal and newborn health research group at the University of Aberdeen.
Our work is closely aligned with Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5. Our purpose is to generate new knowledge, share evidence and advance best practice in monitoring and evaluation in order to improve maternal health in developing countries.
Since its launce in 2007, Ipact has provided technical assistance and training to a wide range of organisations, including UNFPA, WHO, UNICEF, DFID, AusAID and GTZ. We have completed several evaluation missions and provided monitoring and evaluation training in low and middle income countries throughout Africa and Asia.
