The research unit combines theoretical knowledge with practical approaches to design interventions, pilot projects, and programs that are evidence-based. It often involves a multidisciplinary team of researchers, practitioners, and community members to ensure that the interventions are culturally relevant, sustainable, and scalable.

Key activities include:

• Conducting empirical research to understand the root causes of social issues.
• Developing innovative interventions and programs to address these issues.
• Evaluating the effectiveness and impact of these interventions.
• Collaborating with stakeholders, such as community organisations, policymakers, and social service providers, to implement and refine interventions.
• Disseminating research findings to influence policy, practice, and public awareness.
