“Field research, or operational research, is becoming more and more important for our organization. An integral part of our strategic plan, it complements our work on the ground, where it is helping us to deliver increasingly effective results.

What ‘doing research’ means for CUAMM, in fact, is studying and getting to know in depth the settings where we work; adopting a critical approach to all that we do; identifying evidence-based good practices; and being fully accountable to all of our stakeholders.

Finally, it means implementing quality cooperative development activities through networking and partnership with the international scientific community and a focus on innovation.”
