© 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 3 GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM OUR PROGRAM AREAS GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM U.S. PROGRAM

© 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 4 Framing the Question What kind of information do African policymakers need to help inform their decisions? (supply) More randomized controlled trials (RCTs)? More impact evaluations? More synthesis of different types of evidence and sharing of countries’ experiences How to encourage evidence-based decision- making? (demand)

Models of translation Formalized global policy making – e.g. WHO guidelines and recommendations in global health Informal mechanisms of global policy making – e.g. changes in policy and financing decisions by major international agencies Other - ??? E.g. Changes in malaria drug policy in African countries 1.Countries delayed, waiting for WHO guidance 2.External review of Roll Back Malaria partnership (2002) 3.Lancet article © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 5

Modes of Intervention (mostly supply-driven) in translating evidence into changes in policy and practice Strengthen the evidence base through specific research investments Malaria: iPTi Consortium TB: CREATE Invest in people and institutions African Science Academy Brookings African Growth Initiative Think Tank initiative Support policy deliberations and convenings No new evidence; but a fresh perspective of wide-range of stakeholders and experts to reach a consensus view © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 6

Example of BMGF Investments in people “Brookings Africa Growth Initiative” $5.7 million/ 3 years Purpose: to create within the US a stronger forum for debating African development policies, and to strengthen the influence of developing country perspectives on the global development agenda. Distinguished Ministerial Fellows program brings former African policy makers to Brookings to participate in Brookings’ research projects and to conduct own research. Also, Emerging Talent Fellows program focused on less well established African researchers and policy makers. © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 7

Example of BMGF investments in African research and policy institutions “IDRC Think Tank Initiative” $40 million/ 5 years Purpose: to promote objective, high quality, policy-relevant research institutions that inform development policy. In 2009, will provide support for existing or newly formed think tanks in 11 African countries – East Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda West Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 8

Modes of Intervention (mostly supply-driven) Strengthen the evidence base through specific research investments Malaria: iPTi Consortium TB: CREATE Invest in people and institutions African Science Academy Brookings African Growth Initiative Think Tank initiative Support policy deliberations and convenings No new evidence; but a fresh perspective of wide-range of stakeholders and experts to reach a consensus view © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 9

Questions Are we doing enough of the right things? What tools are needed to help bridge the gap between scientific discovery and policy and practice? Should we be thinking about creating demand for evidence, in addition to creating the supply of evidence? © 2008 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | 10
