[Note from Neil PW, moderator: Announcement below is forwarded by HIFA member Richard Fitton. I have registered for this and look forward to HIFA discussions on how we can better promote evidence-informed policymaking. The egregious policymaking of some countries during COVID-19 should be a wake-up call!]

Safe and effective health policy and programmes rely on identifying, appraising, and mobilizing the best available evidence. Evidence-informed decision-making is a mainstay of the World Health Organization’s science-based mandate, and a pivotal steppingstone towards achieving WHO’s triple billion targets and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
WHO’s new guide and online repository for evidence-informed decision-making <https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/350994/9789240039872-en... offers staff, Member States and partner organizations vetted methods and tools to better leverage diverse forms of evidence for more effective policy and practice in the clinical, public health and health system fields.
In this webinar organized by the Evidence to Policy and Impact Unit (ERP) in the Science Division, a platform will be provided to introduce the guide’s comprehensive, multidisciplinary framework to plan and implement evidence-to-policy processes and discuss how the guide can foster better collaboration among actors and workstreams of the evidence ecosystem.
