Full text linkThis case study describes the pathway by which the Baobab Research Programme Consortium\u27s efforts have created a platform that is primed for influencing humanitarian sector policies, guidelines, and strategies with evidence and evidence-based approaches
Influencing programme plans, practices, actions, and investments in humanitarian settings: Case Study One
Full text linkThis case study describes the Baobab Research Programme Consortium\u27s pathway to influencing programme plans, practices, actions, and investments in refugee contexts in Uganda, and the efforts which culminated in the collaborative piloting of a Para-Social Worker-driven intervention in Kiryandongo Settlement by Baobab and Uganda’s Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, with support from the Department of Refugees
Cementing key partnerships to foster the use of evidence in humanitarian settings: Baobab Case Study Three
Full text linkThe Population Council leads the Baobab Research Programme Consortium (RPC) in partnership with Population Council–Kenya and the African Population and Health Research Center. Situated in the East and Horn of Africa (EHA), this Africa-based and African-led consortium focuses on filling critical evidence gaps to reduce inequities in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SHRH) among vulnerable populations in humanitarian settings. Baobab produces policy and program-relevant evidence to address critical SHRH concerns among vulnerable refugee populations in the EHA region. Baobab’s approach to developing partnerships includes a commitment to connection and complementarity; building trust and listening to partners; maintaining respect, patience, and perseverance in relationship building; being embedded in the target context, which fosters deep contextual understanding; flexibility and adaptability to changes within partners and the context; and dedication to utilizing evidence to inform and affect change. This report presents Baobab Case Study Three: “Number of New Partnerships and Networks Forged That Foster the Utilisation of Evidence.
Gloria Seruwagi reflects on the work of the Baobab Research Programme Consortium
No full textFor World Refugee Day, Gloria Seruwagi, Research Uptake Manager, reflects on the Population Council\u27s work on the Baobab Research Programme Consortium (RPC). From conducting the first-ever Humanitarian Violence against Children Survey to co-creating interventions with refugee communities, Baobab RPC demonstrates how to move research to action
Availability of post-abortion care in refugee settlements in Uganda: Evidence Brief
Full text linkThe Baobab Research Programme Consortium (RPC), in collaboration with the Guttmacher Institute, implemented the first-ever application of the Abortion Incidence Complications Method (AICM) in refugee settings in Uganda. The data presented herein is derived from this study, and offers critical insights into the availability of post-abortion care in these displacement settings. These findings contribute to a growing body of evidence aimed at informing policy, programming, and resource allocation for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in refugee-hosting countries
Contraceptive use, intention to use, and method preferences among women in refugee settings in Ethiopia: Evidence Brief
Full text linkThe Baobab Research Programme Consortium\u27s unintended pregnancy survey generated evidence of the prevalence of unintended pregnancy and contraceptive use and aims to identify innovative solutions in refugee settings in Ethiopia. This evidence brief presents findings on the current use of contraception, intention to use, and method preferences among women aged 15–45 years who participated in the unintended pregnancy baseline unintended pregnancy survey conducted in four refugee camps in Ethiopia in 2024 to 2025
Capacity of the health system to provide safe abortion and post-abortion care in refugee settings in Ethiopia: Evidence Brief
Full text linkThe Baobab Research Programme Consortium (RPC), in collaboration with the Guttmacher Institute, implemented the application of the Abortion Incidence Complications Method (AICM) in refugee settings in Ethiopia. Little is known about the health system’s capacity to provide post-abortion care (PAC) or safe abortion care (SAC) services as these have been less studied, especially in the context of refugee settings. This brief assesses the availability of SAC and PAC for women living in humanitarian settings in Ethiopia
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
