Insights
What the practice has published, what it has been recognised for, and the positions it keeps returning to.
Positions
Drawn from implementation rather than from literature — the patterns that recur across every system the work has touched.
Donor-funded IPC and WASH work often performs well while it is funded and disappears when it is not. The difference is whether the function was ever written into someone’s job, budget line, and reporting cycle.
Water, cleaning, waste and infection prevention are usually planned by different teams against different indicators. Patients meet them as a single experience of safety, or the absence of it.
Laboratory investment concentrates on equipment and accreditation. Most of the loss happens in specimen referral, turnaround, and whether a result ever reaches a clinical decision.
Peer-reviewed evidence
Only work with a verifiable reference is listed.

Peer-reviewed paper
Applied Biosafety
Evidence on a training model designed to build biosafety capacity within laboratory systems rather than alongside them, and what it took to embed the model in national curricula.
The programme
Beyond Training: How Kenya Built a National Biosafety System That Lasted
Technical assistance to the national biosafety programme, built to stand on its own once the assistance ended: 1,044 laboratory professionals trained, 216 facilities and 44 counties.
Recognition
