Improving the ecosystem for health policy and system research.

A co-creation series for health systems 
strengthening in Asia.

Health policy and systems research (HPSR) is essential to evidence-based decision-making as countries work to strengthen their health systems. 
Limited evidence-translation capacity among health policy and systems research institutions (HPSRIs) or weak links between researchers and decision makers 
can present significant challenges for countries as they work toward achieving universal health coverage.

This program supports HPSRIs, learning platforms, training programs, and other stakeholders through a co-creation process to establish a shared vision of a stronger HPSR ecosystem, develop action plans to carry out that vision, and execute them. Explore our website to learn more.

Recent Co-creation Highlights

From February 2022-May 2022, co-creators held a series of discussions with policymakers, community service organizations, and funders to discuss their role in the research agenda setting process.

Action Groups

Actions Group

The Accelerator launched action groups steered by the series’ participants, to support the development of identified tools and products, and provide a means for learning and sharing across these action groups. They co-develop actionable ideas to advance the shared vision. Join one of the action groups by visiting the Google Groups → or by e-mailing Leah List →.
