29 May, 2022

Thank you everyone for your inuts so far. You can review past messages here: www.hifa.org/rss-feeds/17 (all relevant messages start with SUPPORT-SYSTEMS).

We now enter the final week of our discussion and I invite you to consider Questions 4 and/or 5:

Q4. What do you think are the different types of evidence that civil society can provide, that otherwise would not be considered? What are the main drivers and barriers to uptake and use of such evidence?

Q5. From your perspective, what are promising practices for creating greater space for civil society participation in health policy processes and for using evidence from civil society more effectively to improve health policymaking for UHC at national and global level?
