The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) has a mandate to advise the government on health policies, and provides laboratory services, training and research. The programme aims to contribute to better health and well-being for all Cambodians by developing the capacity of NIPH to conduct quality research with implications for health systems and policy, including on quality of care, universal health coverage, health inequities, and clinical research on non-communicable and infectious disease.

The partnership aims to increase the ability to get contextualised research into policy and practice.
