Report Summary: International Forum on Evidence-Informed Health Policy in Low-and Middle-Income Countries

Key Findings and Recommendations

Capacity Building and Collaboration:

• Capacity building is essential at all levels, with more emphasis needed to develop skills in evidence synthesis, dissemination, and policy engagement. Collaboration among policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders is critical for advancing evidence-informed health policies, particularly through networks like EVIPNet.

Leadership and Sustainability:

• Strong leadership from government ministries, policymakers, and knowledge translation platforms is essential for driving progress. Sustainability challenges require balancing human capital, funding, and institutionalization. Structures to retain skilled personnel and secure stable funding must be prioritized.

Inclusive Collaboration and Contextualization:

• Efforts must actively include marginalized groups (e.g., women, community members) and address socioeconomic barriers. There is a need to move beyond global evidence toward integrating local research and context-specific adaptations.

Push vs. Pull Strategies and Media Engagement:

• Push strategies (e.g., evidence briefs, systematic reviews) and pull mechanisms (e.g., online clearing houses, rapid response services) are vital for bridging research and policy. Greater use of media engagement and evidence-informed reporting is recommended.

Conclusion

The forum emphasized the need for coordinated action, sustained investment, and inclusive, evidence-based approaches to improve health policy in LMICs.
