Abstract
Objectives:
To discuss practical evidence-based capacity-building steps and effective catalyst strategies in resource limited-settings.
Description:
Researchers and policy-makers from around the world are increasingly recognizing the need for evidence-informed health policy. Existing strategies, methods, and theories on how best to implement processes to engage stakeholders in the policy-making arena with evidence remain diverse and scattered. Using case examples from the Nepal Health Research Council, South Asian Cochrane Network and Centre, and the Caribbean Branch of the US Cochrane Center, participants will become familiar with barriers and solutions to building evidence based capacity in resource-limited settings.
The workshop will include small group discussions on planning a team, linking with Cochrane Collaboration partners, focusing on policy and research priorities, and overcoming challenges. The small groups will report back on critical facilitators and challenges, including methods used.
We expect to create a pragmatic summary tool from the session that will note various challenges and practical strategies that can be utilized in similar settings to promote evidence-informed health policy. Contributions from workshop participants will be noted in the document.
