Evaluating the World Health Organization-Europe’s Evidence Informed Policy Network (360G-Wellcome-208523_Z_17_Z)

In 2012, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO-Europe) launched the Evidence Informed Policy Network Programme (EVIPNet-Europe) to promote evidence-informed policy-making (EIP) in its member countries. EVIPNet-Europe facilitates establishment of Knowledge Translation Platforms (KTPs) in each member country, comprised of government policy-makers. KTPs are then supported toward using evidence to design and implement national health policies. The overall aim of my Secondment Fellowship project is to evaluate EVIPNet-Europe, and by doing so contribute to knowledge on how to most effectively use research evidence to influence policy. The key goals of the project will be: To evaluate EVIPNet-Europe in selected WHO-Europe countries using a quantitative monitoring and evaluation framework. Outputs will include a report for WHO-Europe and a journal article. To qualitatively analyse the impact of EVIPNet on policy-making, identifying factors that influence this impact. I will use a case study of alcohol policy in Moldova, gathering perspectives of local policy-makers on EVIPNET’s effectiveness, acceptability and sustainability in their context. Outputs will include a report for WHO-Europe and a journal article. To gain personal experience of how research evidence is used in policy-making, and how I and other researchers can improve the impact of our research on policy.
