Health policy analysis (HPA) is a critical approach to health policy and systems research (HPSR) that seeks to understand how health policies are formed and implemented. Through gaining a better understanding of the forces involved in decision-making, HPA can offer insights into how policy change unfolds – including shedding light on why policies are designed and implemented as they are in global health.
This webinar builds on the work of the Health Policy Analysis Fellowship supported by the Alliance and coordinated by the University of Cape Town. It presented key findings of recent papers published as part of a special issue of the International Journal for Health Policy Management, highlighted the importance of the approach for the field of HPSR and shared experiences from the fellowship.The webinar took place on 1 July 2021 from 13:00-14:00 CEST/SAST (Geneva/Cape Town time).
