PREFACE This twenty-eighth Annual Report of the Centre documents many aspects of the activities during 2006, including research, support for research, health services, training, dissemina- tion, and administration. Important findings of studies have been presented under the eight research programmes of the Centre. Six separate chapters on six Divisions present infrastruc- tural information, along with the routine activities of each Division. Scientific papers, abstracts, and other documents produced and published by the Centre staff are also listed in the report. Much of the research included here was initiated in previous years and hence documented in earlier reports. Studies that were completed during 2006 present the final results. Some of the studies initiated earlier are still ongoing, and hence preliminary findings from these studies are reported here. If you have any comments on this report or would like to have more information about the Centre or the work described here, please write to: Executive Director, ICDDR,B, GPO Box 128, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh or [email protected].
