Supporting evidence-informed priority-setting

Abstract

This report highlights some of the key insights about how best to support evidence-informed priority setting. It is divided into two parts, the first focuses on the importance of knowing your context as different types of policy decisions will likely warrant different approaches when making and influencing policy decisions to support evidence-informed priority setting. Second, the report provides guidance on how to approach intervening within the defined context. Intervening involves assessing ‘evidence-supply side’ versus ‘evidence-demand side’ approaches to support evidence informed policymaking, as well as evaluating and learning from the use of these approaches.
