MNCH2 supported the revitalisation and registration of the Operational Research Advisory Committee with the National Health Research Ethical Committee (NHREC) by setting up an office for the committee and assigning a desk officer to liaise with other relevant agencies. The Operational Research Advisory Committee (ORAC) currently holds quarterly meetings where issues affecting health system research in Kaduna state are discussed and research proposals are reviewed. The committee also develops new research agendas and addresses challenges affecting research and discusses the way forward.
