Dr. Semakula Daniel is the Innovations and Knowledge Translation (IKT) officer and he is responsible for organizing strategic fora where knowledge generators (research scientists) share and discuss their innovations and research findings with knowledge users (policy makers, practitioners and the public). These platforms, discussions and strategic engagements are aimed at accelerating the adoption of proven innovations and research outputs into new and existing health policies in order to maximise research outputs, reduce research waste, increase the use of interventions of proven effectiveness and optimise the use of available resources in improving livelihoods.
