Accelerating innovation through collaboration

We adopt an approach of brokering and facilitating high-impact collaborations that contribute to major advances in humanitarian innovation through a shared strategic learning process.

Our Accelerated Innovation Collaborations (AICs) are constructed around collaboration, evidence gathering, assessing concepts, and have adoption / scale partners built into each coloration. 

A central component of all UKHIH investments is to include Low- or Middle-Income Country (LMIC) researchers in AICs. We involve a minimum of two UKHIH Fellows in research teams, offering invaluable insights and connections from communities, in addition to building and supporting local capacity.

Since 2021, UKHIH has funded 10 Fellows in the Philippines, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Nepal, Palestine, Egypt, and Yemen.
