Evidence as a catalyst for policy and societal change.
Towards more equitable, resilient, and sustainable global health.
Mobilizing reliable evidence in a global health crisis. Informing safe and effective health policies and programmes. Driving sustainable change towards resilient country capacity and global health equity.
At the WHO Global E2P Summit, global experts and stakeholders met to determine the state and perspectives of evidence-informed health policy- and decision-making beyond the pandemic.
Core Themes:
Evidence-informed health policy beyond the pandemic
Leveraging evidence in a health emergency
During the COVID-19 pandemic, policy-makers, healthcare providers, and research actors faced major challenges in translating a rapidly evolving body of new evidence into tangible response efforts and health policy options. Taking stock of country experiences, the E2P summit capitalized on lessons in evidence-informed policy-making in and beyond global health emergencies.
Strengthening knowledge translation and country resilience
Trust in science and dedicated governance structures for agile knowledge translation processes are crucial for promoting the use of best available evidence and ensure responsive and timely decision-making. At the E2P Summit, experts and global stakeholders explored latest strategies to institutionalize and sustain evidence-informed policy-making at country level.
Joining forces across sectors and evidence workstreams
For evidence to make a difference for patients, communities, policy-makers and practitioners, interdisciplinary collaboration across evidence workstreams and sectors are vital. On the way to achieving WHO's triple billion targets and the Sustainable Development Goals, the E2P Summit offered a steppingstone to spark new collaborations across the evidence ecosystem.
