Knowledge & information
The HRF provides AusAID staff with information on health and HIV by conducting literature searches, undertaking analysis and synthesis of material into short reports and briefings. Knowledge information requests can vary from brief internally-managed tasks, for example providing country-level statistics for a briefing paper, to larger, more complex pieces of work such as comprehensive literature reviews.
Some of the materials produced through the HRF will be made available in the public domain, these will appear intermittently on this page.
