Dear HIFA colleagues,
I am forwarding this message sent this morning on CHIFA, our sister forum on global child health and rights, run by HIFA in collaboration with the International Child Health Group and the International Society of Paediatrics and Child Health. The Lancet Commision to which it refers is for global health generally (not only child health). For more information on CHIFA, and to join, see www.chifa.org

Dear CHIFA colleagues,
Do you work on improving health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)? This is YOUR chance to have your say on what helps/hinders the use of evidence for implementation. How can we democratise evidence generation by those doing the work as implementors? What would make implementation research/science more do-able in your daily work?
