Description

Sound health policy making necessitates an evidence base to ensure effectiveness. But too often scientists and politicians speak a different language, making effective collaboration difficult. This leads to misunderstanding and even mistrust. In this workshop, Ms. Emilie Peeters, coordinator of the Academic Network on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights  Policy (ANSER) network will focus on why it is so important to recognize that both politicians and academics have a different but equally important role to play and that collaboration between all stakeholders is crucial to move effectively from evidence to policy and ensure impact.
