Our mission is to inform debate and policy on global health
issues and national health systems in order to reduce inequalities
in health.
It is also our role to support the technical excellence of HLSP’s
work.
We focus both on policy and practice for development. Our research
and contributions to policy and debate are informed by practical
experience gained from HLSP country and global level work, and
benefit from the input and collaboration of southern partners. We
share our experience through seminars, publications, and the
development of training and technical resources.
Policy analysis and debate
We monitor trends in the sector, identify important issues,
analyse policy and develop pragmatic, well-informed proposals for
improving policy and strategy. We aim to offer timely and relevant
contributions to debate in international health and development
assistance. We do this through commissioned work as well as through
publications and seminars.
To find out about our latest work, read our
Technical Approach papers and
Technical Briefs.
Applied research
We gather evidence about what works and why. We conduct action
research to test and assess innovative approaches, and to review
and assess the impact of specific interventions.
Professional development and learning from experience
We develop innovative and user-friendly training and technical
resources for national officials and health managers. We
disseminate thinking and lessons learnt from HLSP’s project work
through publications, seminars and other types of media. We also
have an in-house professional development role, and provide a range
of information products and training activities for HLSP staff and
consultants.
