Research ethics at PAC demands going back to the community with findings create demand for service delivery improvement
Not done for this project
tight timelines
lack of resources to take it forward
find partners / local champions
Shouldn’t we as a team have found the resources to ‘close the loop’?
Not closing the loop…!
