The Alliance will have a key presence at the Global Evidence Summit, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa from 13 to 16 September 2017.
As a member of the Scientific Committee of the Summit, the Alliance contributed to shape the programme of this high-level event. The theme of the GES, ‘Using Evidence. Improving Lives’, will highlight and promote evidence-informed approaches to health policy and international development.
As a thought leader in the emerging field of health system research synthesis, the Alliance is supporting review centres in low- and middle-income countries, and is developing guidance material to serve as global public goods in the field. As such, the Summit will be the occasion to launch the new publication entitled “Rapid Reviews to Strengthen Health Policy and Systems: A Practical Guide”.
