How CAAHRAD sustains itself.
CAAHRAD is built as a revenue-generating institution, not a charity dependent on goodwill. Our model ensures that each stream funds the others — creating a self-reinforcing engine for research and institutional growth.
Advisory & Consulting
Fee-based engagements with hospitals, health agencies, and development organisations. Each engagement is anchored in research evidence and produces a formal deliverable — making CAAHRAD's advisory qualitatively different from generalist consulting.
- ₦200K–₦800K per advisory engagement
- Retainer relationships with health institutions
- Government health agency mandates
- Year 1 Target: 4–6 engagements
Research & Evaluation
Commissioned research projects from NGOs, development partners, and government health bodies requiring independent, credible evidence. Research commissions become the content that sustains CAAHRAD's publication pipeline simultaneously.
- Project-based commission fees
- Evaluation contracts with development organisations
- Academic institution partnerships
- Year 1 Target: 2–3 publications
Workshops & CPD
Structured, CPD-accredited workshops and certification programmes for allied health professionals. Training revenue is highly repeatable — the same programme can be delivered to multiple institutions with low marginal cost once developed.
- Per-participant workshop fees
- Institutional training contracts
- Online/hybrid programme licensing
- Year 1 Target: 3–5 workshops
Grants & Institutional Funding
Grant income from international health agencies provides the long-duration research funding that commercial commissions cannot. Grant success creates publication momentum that elevates CAAHRAD's profile, unlocking further advisory and training demand.
