About us

Ipact is the evaluation and training service arm of Immpact, (Initiative for Maternal Mortality Programme Assessment), an internationally recognised maternal and newborn health research group at the University of Aberdeen. Ipact is a not for profit consultancy whose purpose is to improve the uptake of rigorous research to support the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in developing countries.

Ipact has two streams of work, it provides research based technical assistance and also conducts training to improve capacity for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of maternal and newborn health programmes.

There is clear evidence of a demand for the work we do. Our work is closely aligned with achieving the Millennium Development Goals, certainly those relating to maternal and child health by providing much needed quality evaluations and by building capacity through our training.
