    Stillbirths are one of the most depressing realities of our time: Each year 2 million babies die before or during birth. Compassionate care from diagnosis, throughout hospital stay and after discharge – which is standard in high income countries –can mitigate the psychological, social, and economic consequences on parents and midwives and may trigger more open discussions in facilities for improvement work.We aim to co-design and evaluate a culturally sensitive 2-component stillbirth bereavement care intervention addressed to bereaved women and their families as well as maternity providers.This project will harness the research infrastructure of the EU-funded implementation science project ALERT operating in Benin, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda. Using co-design methodology, we first aim to understand bereaved mothers’ and maternity providers’ perceptions and expectations of stillbirth care. Feedback and reflection meetings we ensure that the intervention is also applicable to the other ALERT countries. The adapted intervention will be implemented and tested using a cluster-randomized design in hospitals of Benin and Malawi. Outcome measures of  bereaved mothers’ mental health and on healthcare providers workplace stress and burnout, confidence to provide stillbirth care as well as the quality of perinatal audits.  The research work should lead to improved evidence on how to break through the negative consequences of dying during birth which affects large parts of the society.

    The introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine has highlighted the problem of vaccine hesitancy in Africa. This trend is in part driven by the spread of anti-vaccine information on social media. As this gains further traction, it could lead to a sharp increase in vaccine hesitancy rates and weaken confidence in other essential vaccines. Several studies have established widespread vaccine hesitancy among health workers in Africa. The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate an innovative peer-led social media intervention that addresses vaccine concerns among health workers in  Ethiopia and Nigeria. These countries were selected because of observed vaccine hesitancy among health workers and because social media use is very common. The intervention will be co-designed by health workers
    thereafter peers will promote the messages on social media. The impact of the intervention on the vaccination status of health workers will be assessed through a cluster-randomised trial. Targeting health workers can have positive ripple effects
    vaccines can protect health workers as well as the patients they care for, thereby preserving the health system. Increasing trust among health workers can also have the positive effect of building confidence in essential childhood vaccines among the wider population as they are influential role models. Addressing vaccine hesitancy and the underlying misinformation can help build higher acceptance of future vaccines.
