Goal
  • To help stakeholders ask the right questions to avoid duplication of investments and research efforts in different health and development areas within cholera.

 

Scope
MMGH conducted interviews with stakeholders in over 30 countries to identify all potential research questions related to the implementation of the Ending Cholera Roadmap. In consultation with the 177 experts, MMGH consolidated the questions and developed a mechanism to have the disease community score each question. Based on MMGH’s deep knowledge of the cholera landscape, the team was able to analyse the data, based on stakeholder scoring, and help identify the key questions that needed to be answered in order to achieve their goals. All work and activities were executed in consultation with the Global Task Force on Cholera Control.
Result

The report was accepted by key stakeholders operating in the cholera field as a guide to allocate resources to answer the most pressing research questions that will have the most significant impact on our ability to control cholera.
