Abstract
Objectives
•Share signs of progress toward a step-change improvement in evidence to address societal challenges for 3 implementation priorities: formalizing and strengthening domestic evidence-support systems, enhancing and leveraging the global evidence architecture, and putting evidence at the center of everyday life.
•Highlight and discuss key areas where more joined-up efforts are needed to "land the plane."
Description and activities/interaction plans
Since the release of the Global Evidence Commission’s landmark report in 2022 and updates in 2023 and early 2024, we see many signs of progress toward a step-change improvement in the use of evidence to address societal challenges. However, with progress stalled or reversing on many of the Sustainable Development Goals, joined-up efforts are urgently needed in key areas to "land the plane."
This session will feature a dynamic discussion among Implementation Council members of the Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges (GCESC) of where we see progress and where we need more joined-up efforts on 3 implementation priorities. Co-chairs will open the session and then prompt speakers to briefly share their perspective on particular priorities, followed by discussion/Q&A with the audience, including:
•Co-chairs:
oJeremy Grimshaw (GCESC)
oJohn Lavis (GCESC)
•Formalizing and strengthening domestic evidence-support systems:
oLaura Boeira (Instituto Veredas)
oPatrick Okwen (eBASE – Effective Basic Services)
•Enhancing and leveraging the global evidence architecture:
oIsabelle Mercier (Global SDG Synthesis Coalition)
oJulian Elliott (Alive – Alliance for Living Evidence)
•Putting evidence at the center of everyday life:
oPaula Byrne (iHealthFacts)
oDanilo Castro (Instituto Veredas)
•Cross-cutting:
oPromise Nduku (Pan-African Collective for Evidence; speaking to priority 1 and 3)
oDaniel Ortega (CAF – Development Bank of Latin America, Campbell Collaboration; speaking to priority 2 and funders)
