Abstract
Objectives
- To describe the benefits of collaborative living evidence
- To share the state of the art across sectors
- To identify how we move forward together
Description
Living evidence is arguably the most significant innovation in evidence synthesis in this generation with implications across the ecosystem. Everyone is talking about living evidence, but few understand what it is, how it works, or what it involves. Critical engagement with living evidence has the potential to bring about a step change in how we conduct and use evidence synthesis, with significant implications for impact on people and the planet.
This session will be co-chaired by global leaders in the field: Jeremy Farrar/Lisa Askie, WHO, Geneva; and Laura Boeira from the Brazilian Institute Veredas.
Panelists will include:
Health: Tari Turner from the Australian Living Evidence Coalition [confirmed]
Climate change: Jan Minx, MCC, Berlin [confirmed]
Education: Patrick Okwen, Ebase and Education Endowment Foundation, Bamenda, Cameroon [confirmed]
Social policy: Ruth Stewart, Alive, Johannesburg [confirmed]
Activities/interaction plans
Panelists’ contributions will be focused through 3 rounds of prompts from the chairs. They will be encouraged not to use slides but to communicate clearly from their "fireside" seats.
The prompts will include:
- Introduce how your organization/sector is utilizing living evidence. Tell us a bit about why you chose to take a living approach.
- Tell us what is working well in your use of living evidence. Share what you see as the (most exciting) potential of collaborative living evidence for strengthening the generation of better policy and practice for better outcomes.
- What areas of further innovation would be most helpful for your work, and what questions do you still have? Discuss concrete steps for how we can move forward with collaborative living evidence together.
Discussion with the audience will be facilitated by the chairs. Time will be protected for these contributions.
In closing, the chairs will return to each panelist for the 1 take-home message from each.
This session is relevant for all delegates at GES, including evidence funders, producers, users, and intermediaries irrespective of sector or geography.
