I was not directly involved in preparing the report. But one of my research papers resulted as a section (Section 5 Estimation of U5MR and IMR by sex, pp 9–12 and Section 8 Estimation of mortality rates among children aged 5–14 and youth aged 15–24 by sex, pp 13–14) in this report by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME). This is an example of how my research finds its application in real life and helps with policy making and strategic planning.
