The HIFA forum has enabled this process by providing a platform for multistakeholder discussion of the issues among HIFA members, here on the HIFA forum.
The results are currently being finalised and expected to be published soon in a second paper. We'll let you know as soon as this is available.
Meanwhile, HIFA is also successfully supporting another major research consortium: mHEALTH-INNOVATE, looking at the informal use of mobile phones by health workers.
We want to invite other research teams to use HIFA in this way. Such use is particularly well suited to health systems research, but we can consider other types of research where multistakeholder perspectives would complement your programme.
For a quick overview of how *you* can collaborate with HIFA, advancing the objectives of your organisation/programme, please see our website:

Best wishes, Neil
