Research

The “Research” series of the No Hunger Radio all about how and why we conduct research and how it fits in with Action Against Hunger’s operational programming. Released over four episodes in 2020.

In this series of the No Hunger Radio, we explore Action Against Hunger’s research portfolio. Across four episodes, we discuss why research is critical to our work, how it informs our decisions, programmes and actions in the field, and what we bring to the table as a research partner.

We also explore a case study of our work in mental health research, as well as the uptake of our research in programmes and policies.


EPISODE 1: WHY RESEARCH?

In this introductory episode, we spoke to Ellyn Yakowenko, Associate Director of Research at Action Against Hunger’s US headquarters, to find out how research informs our work and development as an organisation.
