International meeting on health policy analysis
Print version
King’s co-organised a meeting of leading international health policy analysts at RIBA on 21-22 May 2007. The aim of the meeting was to explore and extend the range of policy analysis approaches that could be used to improve understanding of the key influences on health reform policy processes. Key objectives included consolidating knowledge on how to investigate pro-poor policy failure and success, designing strategies to build national capacity for improved policy analysis, and generating interest in policy analysis among decision-makers, researchers and funding agencies as a key strategy in meeting development goals.
Speakers included Professors Gill Walt of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine UK, Lucy Gilson of the University of Witswatersrand, South Africa, Jeremy Shiffman of Syracuse University USA, Friday Okonofua, University of Benin and Special Minister for Maternal Health, Nigeria, and Dr Sripen Tantivess of the Ministry of Health, Thailand, as well as Dr Susan Murray who recently took up a post within the School as Senior Lecturer in International Health.
The meeting was jointly organised by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), the HLSP Institute, the University of Witswatersrand, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King’s College London.
