What we do
By bringing decision-makers and researchers together, the Alliance strives to identify research priorities that are responsive to the needs of countries.
At the Alliance, we believe in the power of research to inform health policy decisions, drive health care reforms, scale-up proven health interventions, and ultimately save lives. Since 1999, this belief has guided our efforts to promote the generation and use of health policy and systems research as a means to strengthen health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The Alliance funds a variety of HPSR projects, programmes and initiatives across LMICs.
What is health policy and systems research?
Health policy and systems research (HPSR) is an emerging field that seeks to understand and improve how societies organize themselves in achieving collective health goals, and how different actors interact in the policy and implementation processes to contribute to policy outcomes.
