Having witnessed countless of policy implementation failures across sectors in government or academia, or industry, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Africa. ONE rule becomes very critical to address this problem: 👉🏽 Policymakers must resist the urge of rushing to implement interventions (evidence-based or best-available), without a comprehensive and thoughtful plan to evaluate WHAT works (intervention components), HOW it worked (implementation strategies and mechanisms), and WHY it worked (implementation determinants and contextual factors). This is essential to ensure that "evidence" is translated into "practice" scientifically, systematically, and sustainably. Thus, there is an urgent need for all of us, including practitioners, populations, and policymakers to get involved in IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE to improve the health and livelihoods of people worldwide. It works!!! #policymaking #globalhealth #LMICs #implementationscience

Our team R-Health Consult supports the Ministry of Health of Tunisia, World Health Organization, UN Inter-Agency Task Force on NCDs (UNIATF) and UNDP, in developing a physical activity investment case for Tunisia. This study seeks to evaluate the financial and economic costs associated with #physical inactivity in #Tunisia and to highlight the potential benefits of increasing active lifestyles. This initiative will serve as a compelling advocacy tool, providing concrete evidence of the long-term health, social, and economic benefits of investing in #physicalactivity promotion. https://lnkd.in/dZcQrt2V

Check out the new paper from the ReBUILD team - Assessing the role of non-state actors in health service delivery and health system resilience in Myanmar. https://lnkd.in/exrZhi5W The paper, from our teams in Burnet Institute and Institute for Global Health and Development, QMU, explores the role of non-state actors (NSAs) during crises in #Myanmar, and provides insights on how the resilience capacities they build over time to provide services in adverse circumstances have informed the response to the latest crisis in the country. Maria Paola Bertone of QMU said: "NSAs, such as NGOs, civil society organisations and Ethnic Health Organisations, are essential for service delivery especially in a setting such as Myanmar where the reach of the public health system is low. However, their role over time, as well as their contribution to the resilience of the health systems, are understudied. This study shows how service provision increasingly relied on NSAs in time of crises in Myanmar. NSAs are shown to have built resilience capacities such as the flexibility and adaptability to provide services in adverse circumstances which are grounded in the experience of previous crises."
