The staff of the Department has a long experience of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, in particular in the following areas that are directly related to the CoBaSys project: rural and urban poverty, public health systems, sexuality, HIV/AIDS, gender relations. The Department has carried out specific research regarding access to health systems of vulnerable groups and capacity building of health personnel. In addition, it has analysed the role of stigma and socio-cultural obstacles in access to testing and counseling.

Research activities of the Department, often carried put in collaboration with different national and international institutions, are directed towards supporting institutional actors and national and international organizations in a better and thorough understanding of the Mozambican society.

Within the CoBaSys project, UEM is responsible for the management of WP4 – Setting up of Stakeholder Fora. This action will be carried out at regional level in order to define policies promoting community-based quality health care for HIV/AIDS and to enhance ‘collective responsibility’ and ownership of interventions by all stakeholders. The Stakeholder Forums will constitute the basis for future cooperation at inter-regional and international level.
