Abstract

The importance of evidence-informed health policy making is widely recognised and frameworks exist to help understand the roles of different types of evidence [ 1 , 2 ]. However, there is limited application of these frameworks in empirical studies, particularly to inform learning and improve evidence-informed health policy development in LMICs. The objective of this presentation is to discuss results of comparative analysis of the role of evidence in health policy development in six case studies from India and Nigeria, and share the resultant lessons.
