Executive Summary From 14-18 November 2016, 2,032 delegates from 101 countries assembled in Vancouver, Canada, for

the Fourth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research on the theme of ‘Resilient and responsive

health systems for a changing world’. This year’s Symposium consisted of five days of 53 organised

sessions, 248 oral presentations, 74 satellite and skills building sessions, 385 posters, and 155 e-posters.

Health Systems Global organizes a symposium every two years to bring together its members with the

full range of players involved in health systems and policy research and health policy making from a

national and Global level and civil society. The Fourth Symposium was co-hosted by Health Systems

Global and the Canadian Society for International Health. Co-sponsors included the World Health

Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, The Alliance for Health Policy and Systems

Research, the International Development Research Centre and the Canadian Institutes of Health

Research.

A local host committee included the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, the First Nations

Health Authority, Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia.

The overall objective of the Recipient in relation to the Project was to support LMIC participation at the

fourth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research as well as post-symposium field building

activities.

The specific objectives of the Project were as follows:

1.1. To bring up to 40 presenting delegates from low-and-middle income countries to the symposium;

This objective was met as in total 270 scholarships were provided to low and middle income

participants. Funding for these scholarships were pooled with many international donors including the

International Development Research Centre, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency,

the Doris Duke Foundation, CIHR, Global Affairs Canada and the China Medical Board.

1.2. To support the participation of 6 emerging leaders from low and middle income countries in the

Emerging Voices (EV) training program;

This objective was met through a successful EV training program where 41 young leaders from low and

middle income countries took part online and in person in Vancouver in the 10 days leading up to the

Symposium.

1.3. To support intra-symposium networking and field building activities including thematic working

groups, webinars, and a special journal supplement.”

This objective was met with the pre-program (satellite) and full program. Each of the 10 thematic

working groups held a concurrent session as well as a meeting with new members. IDRC organized

satellite sessions held on November 15. The first was “Skills building on methods and tools for learning

from action in participatory action research: Building action learning within affected actors and

communities for resilient and responsive health systems” followed by “Think tanks and evidence based

research informing policies to accelerate health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” which

included SI translation into French.

Core principles of the Symposium Program The Program working group was responsible for the development of the overall program and aimed to

develop a programme that:

Was of the highest technical quality.

Encouraged active debate through effective engagement.

Was diverse and inclusive. Symposium organizers encouraged all of the sessions to be organised

in ways that were attractive to our diverse target audiences:

o Researchers, policy-makers, programme managers and civil society participants;

o Regular conference attenders and those attending one for the first time;

o Residents of different geographic regions;

o Those from different disciplinary backgrounds, including other sectors and fields

relevant to the symposium theme.

Abstract Submissions The call for abstracts was highly successful for HSR 2016. A call for organized sessions expired in January

of 2016 and the individual abstracts deadline was in March 2016. In both these process,

3,016 Abstracts were submitted and reviewed by 266 scientific reviewers.

Scholarships HSR 2016 provided scholarships to participants from low and middle income countries as well as

students to assist them with attending HSR 2016. There were three categories of scholarships;

registration (registration only), partial (registration, accommodation and per diems) and full

(registration, accommodation, travel and per diems). To receive a scholarship, a participant must have

had an accepted abstract. HSR offered to fund all accepted 153 oral speakers requesting funding, 42

speakers for organized sessions, 12 multimedia presenters, 28 posters and 105 e-poster fee subsidies.

In total, 270 scholarships were awarded. Of the 270 scholarships, 202 were full scholarships, 33 were

partial scholarships, 7 were registration scholarships and 28 were part of the Alliance for Health Policy

and Systems Research (provided by the World Health Organization).

Of the 270 scholarships, 12 were participants in the Emerging Voices program and 18 people did not

attend the symposium due to complications with their visa applications. Some had their visa

applications denied and others did not receive a response in time to travel to the Symposium. All

scholarship recipients were provided with invitation letters which detailed their scholarship and what

was to be included in their visa application. A further 10 scholarship recipients did not attend due to

various reasons including health complications, natural disasters or work commitments.

Scholarships were sponsored specifically by the International Development Research Centre, Swedish

International Development Cooperation Agency, the Doris Duke Foundation, CIHR, Global Affairs Canada

and the China Medical Board.

Plenary sessions Plenary sessions were the anchor for each day and focused on a theme with one or two keynote

speakers and a panel of discussants.

Four plenary sessions took place during the Symposium. The Welcome plenary was held on Tuesday,

November 15th immediately prior to the Welcome reception. An Opening plenary took place on the

morning of Wednesday, November 16th and the third plenary occurred on the morning of Thursday,

November 17th. The final and Closing plenary took place on the afternoon of Friday, November 18th and

was the final Symposium session. All plenary session provided delegates with the option for

simultaneous translation into Spanish and French.

Concurrent sessions Concurrent sessions took place in meeting rooms in the East Building of the Convention Centre. Each

session was 90 minutes long with 12 rooms operating in each timeslot. There were three concurrent

session timeslots each day. Two concurrent sessions at each timeslot hosted sessions in either Spanish

and French or French only with SI translation provided.

Satellite Sessions Twenty skills building satellite sessions took place at the Simon Fraser University Harbour Centre

Campus on Monday and Tuesday, November 14th and 15th prior to the official start of the program.

Fifty-four sponsored satellite sessions took place at the Convention Centre on the same dates.

Posters 385 traditional printed posters were available in the Marketplace on poster boards during the entire

program. Presentation times were at the lunch hour and were grouped by theme. New in HSR2016 was

introduction of 366 e-posters. 155 of these e-posters actually presented onsite around screens in the

Marketplace, while the remaining e-posters were offered to those that could not attend the symposium

for a 50$ fee or were subsidized from the scholarship grants if they were from an LMIC and could not

attend.

Overall, the e-poster site has been used/accessed 20,838 times since the day it went live

in November, with the peak viewing right before HSR started. 19.50% of all usage/traffic was from

India, followed by 18.12% from Canada, 11.93% from USA, 6.78% from the UK and 4.52

from Bangladesh.

Posters were judged onsite and online. 15 awards with a prize of 100$ were given for best in each

theme category as well as best student poster, best French language poster and best e-posters. E-

posters as well as many of the poster award winners can be accessed online at:

throughout the Symposium as well as several areas for action for Health Systems Global as a whole

community. The statement is below.

Vancouver Statement for the Fourth Global Symposium on Health

Systems Research Vancouver, Canada 18 November 2016

Introduction From 14-18 November 2016, 2,062 delegates from 101 countries assembled in Vancouver, Canada, for

the Fourth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research on the theme of ‘Resilient and responsive

health systems for a changing world’. This year’s Symposium consisted of five days of 53 organised

sessions, 248 oral presentations, 74 satellite and skills building sessions, 385 posters, and 155 e-posters.

Social media played a great part in whipping up the spirit of engagement, before and during the

Symposium. Blogs also played a role in generating energy before the Symposium; the most popular of

these was a blog from the SHAPES thematic working group challenging the concept of resilience in

health systems.

Progress since Cape Town Since Cape Town, the world has shifted from efforts to achieve the MDGs to the launch of the SDGs,

which maintain a focus on UHC, but call more strongly for a systems-orientated approach by embedding

health in broader social and environmental perspectives. In support of these goals, there is even greater

focus on research to reduce inequities in relation to marginalized and vulnerable groups. On the policy

and implementation front, there has been a transition in the funding landscape from donor funding for

interventions, towards emphasis on locally generated funds. In this context, the local production of

health policy and systems research is also increasingly valued.

Since Cape Town, our Health Systems Global membership has spread even further across the world,

with the majority in LMICs. The Emerging Voices group has been institutionalised as one of the thematic

working groups of HSG, making 10 in all. The Society also has a new strategic plan from 2016-2020, the

result of broad-based member consultation. HSG and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems

Research have been successful in ensuring greater numbers of policy-makers in the Vancouver

meetings. Outreach, particularly to Latin American colleagues, and simultaneous translation has further

diversified participation. While sub-national implementers, journalists and civil society voices were

present, the Society needs to seek out, engage and ensure even greater participation of these

constituencies in future Symposia.

Key reflections Several themes emerged from the discussion and debate during this Symposium. First, it is important to

recognise the many meanings of resilience. Health system resilience and responsiveness is anchored in

people living and working within their communities. But, we need to be cautious not to romanticize

communities as resilient, when what they are doing is coping in difficult situations. Systems need to be

resilient precisely so that the burden of such resilience does not fall on the most vulnerable in our

societies. Health systems resilience needs to be qualified by an explicit focus on equity and social justice,

and support the empowerment of the most vulnerable.

Second, discussions amongst participants highlighted the importance of resilient and responsive health

systems as ones which provide integrated, people-centred services, with a focus on primary health care

as the frontline of routine services and outbreak response. Subnational actors, including communities,

are reservoirs of resilience for health systems. Resilient health systems are those which operate from

the “end-user back”, and not from the organisation forward. Nevertheless, governments have the

responsibility for steering all actors – public and private – in the interests of the broader community.

Third, while some discourse on resilience emphasises health security, such a perspective can sometimes

be counter-productive, and should be balanced with the protection of health rights and health system

strengthening. Health security should be an inclusive concern of the entire global community, and never

a reason to exclude or marginalize.

Fourth, the resilience discourse should be positioned within achieving the SDGs and mobilising

collaboration and leadership across sectors. This together with integration and a move away from

vertical approaches will help achieve the sustainable management of health systems. Symposium

delegates repeatedly stressed the importance of people and relationships, flexibility and the capacity to

mobilize new resources.

Fifth, the Symposium gave occasion to highlight the struggles of indigenous peoples against historic

privileges, including in high income countries. This has received insufficient attention in the Symposia to

date. People in high income countries have much to learn from the experiences of low and middle

income countries as well as from their own indigenous or marginalized populations.

Actions The Symposium identified several areas for action for HSG as a whole community:

In addressing researchers

o Flexibility, adaptation, learning and innovation are features of resilient and responsive

health systems – these must be fostered. To do this, we need more innovative research

and more nuanced frameworks and assessment tools to understand the meanings of

resilience and responsiveness.

o There is a need to support the translation of evidence to action across decision making

interfaces much more. Our response must include embedding our research within

policy-making processes and practice, and improving the science of implementation.

o The 2018 Symposium in Liverpool should therefore showcase the new research

methods tested over the next two years, especially applying the concepts of

intersectionality and resilience, and developing new approaches to measure health

systems performance in various settings.

9

In addressing donors and research funders

o Donors should more frequently embed research and analysis within support to policies

and programs, so as to ensure that quality evidence informs such programs.

o In a rapidly changing world, some flexibility of budgets is essential to facilitate

innovation, responsiveness, and resilience. We urge donors and funders to respond to

this.

o We ask funders to invest further in supporting the participation of policy-makers, sub-

national implementers, journalists and civil society in dialogues with researchers,

including in future Symposia.

In addressing practitioners, policy-makers and communities

o The active inclusion of policy-makers in the Symposium has been invaluable in

strengthening insights into the everyday realities of governing health systems.

However, there are still voices which need further amplification. Thought should be

given to ways of using different technologies and media to widen inclusivity for remote

participation in future symposia.

To conclude The Fourth Global Symposium has allowed our community to hold a light to the concept of resilient and

responsive health systems, recognising their importance for achieving UHC and the SDGs, while

acknowledging the potential shortcomings. Resilience adds a useful lens to our existing concepts and

approaches, but it does not replace or supersede them.

The world is changing, and resilience and responsiveness are needed now more than ever. The

accumulated knowledge we have as a community builds on the continuing Symposia agenda of

improving the science needed to accelerate Universal Health Coverage; to be more inclusive and

innovative towards achieving UHC; and to make health systems more people-centred.

For the next two years, Health Systems Global as a community of practitioners and researchers will look

to remain at the vanguard of defining the field of health policy and health systems, while impacting our

broader communities, and improving our global society.

Executive summary

Corresponding to the HSR2016 symposium objectives, this evaluation responds to four evaluation questions. Each of these issues is stated below and followed with a concise concluding statement, a short narrative presenting the supporting evidence and corresponding recommendations. Full details of the evaluation are available in the full evaluation report.

This was a mixed methods evaluation using quantitative data collected both during the symposium and as a follow-up online survey. Registration and participation databases were further used as a line of evidence. Qualitative data included symposium testimonials, observations of symposium sessions, responses to open-ended post-symposium e-survey questions and semi-structured interviews with symposium organizers. Theme analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data using the Atlas.ti software. Quantitative data was cleaned with Excel and the SPSS software and was used to complete descriptive statistics. A detailed description of the evaluation matrix, indicators, and lines of evidence is found in the full evaluation report. The response rate for the symposium and post-symposium survey was respectively 18.6% (376/2,022 delegates) and 23.6% (477/2,022 delegates). Delegates provided a total of 306 testimonials during the symposium. Approximately two-thirds of post-symposium survey respondents, 44.8% (324/478) responded to at least one open-ended question, and 617 responses were provided in total.

Evaluation Question #1: To what extent did the HSR2016 symposium promote inclusiveness and connect diverse stakeholders from different geographic regions and language backgrounds?

Findings for Evaluation Question #1: The HSR2016 symposium was an inclusive event. Delegates, including those with a formal knowledge producer role (i.e. representatives giving a presentation), were as likely to be from high-income countries (HIC) as low- to middle-income countries (LMIC). Knowledge producers from LMIC were better represented in some symposium activities than in others (e.g. satellite sessions, organized sessions, abstract-driven sessions, etc.). Delegates from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) were underrepresented at the symposium. Networking was an important strength of the symposium whereby connections created or reinforced during the symposium are likely to be sustained in future. Francophone and Hispanophone delegates however faced language barriers imposing limitations to their quality engagement with the symposium.

Narrative of supporting evidence to Evaluation Question #1: Registration and symposium participation rates revealed an equivalency between LMIC and HIC. Delegates from these country income groups were equally likely to register and attend the symposium. Actual participation differed only slightly, with a 5% higher participation among delegates from HIC than LMIC. Representation across World Bank regions was not equal, however. Rates of participation were higher for the regions of North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe & Central Asia but lower for the regions of Latin America & Caribbean and the Middle East & North Africa.

Delegates perceived the symposium to be composed of a diversity of actors and overwhelmingly assessed the symposium as "favoring connections between a diverse representation of people" and as including "a balance of views and voices from the North and South." Indeed, as revealed by the symposium survey, almost 9 out of 10 delegates were either in agreement or in complete agreement with both statements. On the other hand, Francophones and Hispanophones suggested their

integration could be improved in future. Representation of Latin American scientists, as well as improved opportunities to participate in English language debates, were proposed.

Findings further revealed that LMIC delegates were as likely to present (oral, poster, multimedia, etc.) in the symposium as HIC delegates. The HSR2016 presenter databases provided to the evaluation documented that when including all sessions (oral, organized, satellite, skill building, multimedia, and poster sessions) 53.2% of presenters were from a low- or middle-income country. In this respect, the symposium assured equal and engaged space for people from North and South. However, LMIC delegates were less likely to be a presenter in the organized, satellite and skill-building sessions relative to their HIC counterparts.

Results across all lines of evidence demonstrated delegates’ appreciation of HSR2016 as a networking event. Symposium and post-symposium survey results showed delegates’ favorable assessment in this regard. Four out of five delegates during the symposium, and three out of five delegates post-symposium stated this event made a favorable or very favorable contribution to developing their network. Indeed, networking was found to be the most frequently shared positive comment during the symposium and to co-occur with comments about diversity. For example, several delegates responded that the “best part of the symposium” included “different perspectives from all over the world” or “meeting new people or peers from around the world.”

Although survey results demonstrated that the symposium played a positive role in promoting networking, delegates as well provided suggestions for improvements. In this respect, “opportunities for networking built into the program structure starting from the first day" was offered as a suggestion for what could be done better next time. This need was further identified by delegates for whom the size of the symposium was isolating, whereby “networking opportunities (are) limited unless people are already connected.” When parallel sessions with similar topics occurred simultaneously (i.e. the same point in time), delegates were forced to select which session to attend. According to post-symposium comments, this to a degree impeded networking, as "it is hard to connect with like-minded researchers/policymakers because they were in other similar sessions.” Overcrowded sessions and too many presenters were further identified as conditions that need improvement in future to facilitate networking opportunities and more engaged discussion.

Recommendations following from Evaluation Question #1: The HSR2018 symposium organizers can advance the positive results achieved by the HSR2016 regarding developing even more inclusive event where equity is built into the process of offering scholarships and applying selection criteria to ensure equal opportunities. Some small improvements might be considered to make even further advances on inclusiveness. In this respect, HSG may ensure that satellite and organized sessions consider the country of origin of applicants who submitted abstracts. Improvements in inclusiveness with respect to language and how to connect delegates speaking different languages are desirable. Indeed, if delegates feel restrained based upon language barriers, the event cannot claim to be inclusive in this respect. Finally, building networking opportunities based upon delegates’ professional interests is recommended. Although sessions such as thematic working groups created this opportunity, activities where symposium ‘newcomers’ who may not be aware of the intentions behind these types of sessions can meet and be greeted by symposium veterans, may contribute positively to their sense of becoming part of this health systems research community. These opportunities need to be integrated into the regular program structure, as opposed to being offered uniquely as extracurricular activities.

Evaluation Question #2. To what extent did the HSR2016 symposium facilitate equitable knowledge acquisition and dissemination (i.e., learning) around health policy and systems research?

Findings for Evaluation Question #2: HSR2016 promoted equitable knowledge acquisition among delegates who were able to be physically present at the symposium. Overall satisfaction was high. Delegates from LMIC were more likely to be satisfied than delegates from HIC. Symposium learning was also high and it was higher among delegates from LMIC than among delegates from HIC. Room for improvement was identified with respect to the presentation of e-posters, the co-occurrence of similar parallel sessions, an organization of multimedia sessions and creating more opportunities for exchange/debate during sessions.

Narrative of supporting evidence to Evaluation Question #2: According to the data collected from the symposium survey, the majority of delegates were satisfied with both the content and quality of sessions. Indeed, almost 9 out of 10 delegates would recommend attending HSR2018 to their colleagues. This finding was independent of the income level of a delegate’s country; however, delegates who presented during a session (i.e. had a knowledge producer role) were slightly more likely to recommend the symposium relative to delegates who did not have this function at the symposium (88.9% vs. 81.3%; p<0.01).

Furthermore, over three-quarters of delegates agreed or strongly agreed that sessions engaged their interest, expanded their knowledge and responded to their needs. No significant difference was found across country income levels. Although findings demonstrate an overall high satisfaction, some variations were observed according to the type of session (e.g., satellite, skill-building, oral) and income level of the country.

Three out of five delegates were satisfied or very satisfied with the satellite sessions and the content of the scientific program; however, just less than half of delegates were similarly satisfied with skill-building sessions. While almost half (47.2%) of delegates reported e-posters to be useful or very useful, almost quarter of delegates reported e-posters not to be useful. Although participation in these sessions was not found to differ according to country income level, delegates from LMIC were more likely to be satisfied (or very satisfied) and delegates from HIC were less likely to be satisfied (or very satisfied) with satellite (71.6% vs. 58.7%; p<0.01) and skill-building sessions (59.0% vs. 38.8%; p<0.01).

The post-symposium survey also offered delegates an opportunity to provide comments regarding their appreciation of the content and quality of the symposium program and sessions. Delegates have commented on three aspects of the symposium: 1) the general organization; 2) quality of sessions and program content and; 3) perceived learning. Comments further revealed an appreciation of a symposium strength or the identification of a symposium limitation. Overall, 45.9% (n=156/340) of comments identified symposium strength and 54.1% (n=184/340) identified a symposium limitation. Importantly, while delegates were more likely to share a perceived limitation, this does not necessarily reflect a lack of appreciation. Instead, delegates frequently provided both a very positive comment about their experience with identifying as well as a limitation. Limitations may thus be interpreted as delegates offering areas for improvement.

Approximately one-third of noted limitations were linked to content or subject of a specific session (65/184). Namely, revealed a preoccupation with the quality of research by focusing on longstanding debates with regard to the quality of evidence from quantitative versus qualitative data.

Delegates tended to suggest there was a lack of quantitative data used to justify or describe intervention and further expressed a desire to learn and see more mixed methods research in practice. Corresponding improvements might consider showcasing research that reflects upon mixed methods. The quality of sessions was further described in delegates’ comments in association with insufficient opportunities to discuss and interact, where lacking opportunity was associated with either the size of the session or with having many presenters (i.e., more than four presenters in one session did not allow time for exchange). Finally, delegates also suggested symposium content might be improved by carefully considering the incorporation of issues that are marginal or taboo (e.g., mental health) and current (e.g., UK/Brexit, US election).

With respect to posters, comments frequently referred to their high quality. Testimonial data collected from the poster presenters revealed an appreciation that other poster presenters were physically present at the same time, as this provided an opportunity to discuss and build synergies. The location of posters in the Marketplace, where food and refreshments were provided, was also viewed favorably. Improvements were suggested regarding the positioning of posters within the venue, visibility, promotion, poster scheduling and judging. In contrast, comments were overwhelmingly negative regarding the planning and organization of e-posters: presenters were confused about the schedule, did not find their e-poster to be sufficiently displayed or did not receive the expected attention from delegates.

Data further highlighted low participation rates across multimedia sessions and described them as a missed opportunity for HSR2016. The integration of multimedia sessions into parallel sessions was suggested so that rather than being a session in and of itself, a multimedia presentation could be incorporated into oral, organized, satellite or other parallel sessions.

Delegates were overwhelmingly positivein regarding having acquired knowledge and capacity and to having developed a new perspective or renewed motivation toward their work. Over three-quarters of delegates responded affirmatively to questions addressing knowledge, capacity and renewed perspective and motivation. Delegates from low- and middle-income countries were more likely to respond favorably to having developed a new perspective or a renewed motivation toward their work and a capacity to address a challenge in a new way, relative to delegates from high-income countries.

Learning was further queried during the post-symposium survey with respect to the perceived impact the symposium had on delegates in terms of the following:

§ awareness of up-to-date knowledge; § capacity to find up-to-date evidence; § interest to use knowledge and evidence for work; § awareness of state-of-the-art resources and tools; and § capacity to use state-of-the-art resources and tools.

The results are favorable. Over half of delegates reported the HSR2016 symposium made a large or very large, unique contribution to their awareness of up-to-date knowledge and their interest in using knowledge and evidence for work. Actual capacity to find pertinent, up-to-date evidence and to use state-of-the-art tools was slightly less favorable: only one out of three delegates declared impact upon these capabilities to a large or very large extent.

Country income level was significantly associated with delegates’ perceived learning for each of the five dimensions mentioned above, whereby delegates from LMIC systematically reported higher levels of learning relative to delegates from HIC. Policymakers, practitioners, and researchers were significantly more likely to report an improved capacity to use state-of-the-art resources or tools relative to students and other professional profiles (i.e. media representative, civil society, a private sector, international health agency, philanthropic foundation).

Delegates’ comments during the symposium support a favorable assessment of acquired learning. Almost half of comments reflected a specific learning, awareness or understanding. Learnings were found to be both general, such as "understanding of a need for a paradigm shift,” or specific, such as “understanding the importance of using visual and audio evidence.” Learnings from the symposium reflected knowledge of research methods, such as “mixed methods research” or “new mindset about “participatory action research," as well as the operation of health systems, such as "learning horizontal versus vertical planning" or "understanding potential adverse impact from donor support.”

Recommendations following from Evaluation Question #2: This year's symposium successfully attracted policymakers and thus responded to a fundamental limitation of the previous Cape Town HSR2014 symposium. Symposium organizers suggested the next Liverpool HSR2018 symposium may consider the benefits that could be derived from a stronger presence of civil society, whereby civil society is not represented uniquely by researchers but rather by grass-roots organizations. This was described in terms of its potential to advance a health systems agenda that attends to equity through an advocacy component grounded in fundamental human rights issues. Improving the integration of multimedia sessions with orals may further respond to the need to advance the equity content and advocacy role of the symposium.

Evaluation Question #3. To what extent did the HSR2016 symposium disseminate health systems research methods including methods for knowledge translation?

Findings for Evaluation Question #3: One-third of sessions showcased a research method or knowledge dissemination method. Participation in these sessions was strong. Although delegates' overall learning of health systems was favorable, it was less so regarding specific research and dissemination methods. Learning was perceived to be stronger among delegates from LMIC than HIC. Delegates became aware of new research and knowledge dissemination methods but did not necessarily develop their capacity to use them.

Narrative of supporting evidence to Evaluation Question #3: The symposium survey queried delegates’ general reaction to health systems research and knowledge translation. Responses were overwhelmingly positive to all questions about the accessibility and applicability of new knowledge, as well as to the utility of evidence to inform action. Responses are especially strong regarding the extent to which the symposium made new knowledge accessible to the appropriate audience and provided evidence to inform action. No systematic difference was found in terms of LMIC or HIC, professional profile or role at the symposium.

Delegates’ specific learning of health systems research methods and methods for knowledge translation was slightly less strong. In terms of having (1) noticed a variety of different research methods, (2) learned new research methods, and (3) learned new approaches to use evidence or act on new knowledge, approximately two-thirds of delegates agreed or strongly agreed that they

acquired this learning. No significant differences were found regarding delegates’ country income level, professional profile or role at the symposium.

Learning particular to research methods and knowledge dissemination methods was assessed with the post-symposium survey, which revealed that delegates viewed this favorably, but not quite as favorably as they did during the symposium. Approximately one in three delegates reported the symposium advanced their awareness of new methods for research and knowledge translation, along with their capacity to use these methods, to a large or very large extent. And learning was significantly stronger for delegates from LMIC than HIC, across all four learning dimensions (p<0.01):

§ Awareness of new research methods (LMIC 50.9% vs. HIC 20.5%) § Capacity to interpret evidence (41.5% vs. 14.0%) § Capacity to use new research methods (44.8%% vs. 17.0%) § Awareness of methods to disseminate research findings (48.7% vs. 19.0%)

The strength with which HSR2016 created favorable conditions for the learning of research and knowledge translation methods was also assessed by the availability of sessions showcasing either a research method or a knowledge translation method. Symposium organizers believed the program offered a strong research method content, but they were not optimistic about the presence of knowledge translation methods. This was confirmed by an analysis of the symposium program and session observations. Overall, 34.0% (69/203) of parallel sessions, excluding business meetings and closed sessions, were found to showcase either a research method or a method for knowledge translation. Out of these, 58.0% (40/69) focused on research methods, 31.9% (22/69) on knowledge translation methods and 10.1% (7/69) considered both research methods and knowledge translation methods.

The extent to which delegates were interested to obtain knowledge in relation to research methods or knowledge dissemination methods was assessed by comparing the rate of participation in these specific sessions with the rate of participation in other sessions. Overall, the rate of participation across sessions not showcasing research and knowledge translation methods (excluding plenary, closed sessions and business meetings) was estimated to be 51.9 delegates per session. The rate of participation across the research and knowledge translation methods sessions was slightly higher, at 55.0 delegates per session. Thus, delegates appeared to participate at a slightly higher rate in sessions that showcased research and knowledge translation methods compared to sessions that did not showcase these methods.

Recommendations following from Evaluation Question #3: Building knowledge and capacity specific to research methods and knowledge dissemination methods may be further advanced with the establishment of specific operational objectives in this respect. Identifying needs for research methods and showcasing corresponding knowledge development opportunities might produce knowledge acquisitions with lasting effects. Defining knowledge translation methods and identifying how sessions specifically showcase them may further advance a coherent reflection that has the potential to develop over time.

Evaluation Question #4. To what extent did the HSR2016 symposium support capacity-building for the conduct, translation, and utilization of healthy policy and systems research?

Findings for Evaluation Question #4: During the symposium survey, delegates anticipated symposium learning would be applicable in their daily jobs; however, the strength with which learning was mobilized following the symposium was weaker than may have been expected, particularly for learning specific to research methods. Delegates from LMIC reported the symposium mobile app and social media to have contributed to their learning more than delegates from HIC. HSR2016 facilitated the development of professional networking with respect to both strengthening and expanding connections. This positive impact was maintained several weeks after the symposium.

Narrative of supporting evidence to Evaluation Question #4: Delegates predicted they would have an opportunity to apply the learning acquired during the symposium once they were back home. This was equally true for delegates across LMIC and HIC. Based upon results from the post-symposium survey, just under one out of three delegates reported that the symposium had an important and lasting impact on their work with respect to (1) use of health systems research; (2) interpretation or use of research methods; (3) use of state-of-the-art research methods; (4) sharing, dissemination or translation of research; and (5) approach to address or respond to a health systems challenge or problem. The delegates in the post-symposium survey found the utility of research, in general, to be stronger than that of research methods. Significant differences were again revealed according to country income level, whereby delegates from LMIC were more likely to respond favorably relative to those from HIC (p<0.01):

1. Use of health systems research (LMIC 44.1% vs. HIC 8.0%) 2. Interpretation or use of research methods (37.5% vs. 8.5%) 3. Use of state-of-the-art research methods (32.1% vs. 9.5%) 4. Sharing, dissemination or translation of research (45.8% vs. 12.0%) 5. Approach to address or respond to a health systems challenge or problem (46.9% vs. 16.5%)

No other differences were found related to the role of the delegate at the symposium and their professional profile.

As previously mentioned, delegates perceived the symposium as having a positive impact on their professional networks. The importance of the symposium in this respect was confirmed by delegates’ response to the post-symposium survey question querying the extent to which the symposium had made a large or very large impact on the network with whom they shared, disseminated or translated information, research or knowledge. Two out of five delegates responded affirmatively to this question. This perceived impact was particularly strong for delegates in LMIC versus those in HIC (49.8% vs. 29.0%; p<0.05).

When assessing how delegates learned during the symposium, findings from the symposium survey revealed that both the formal and informal settings were identified as being important. Overall, four out of five delegates responded that their learning occurred predominantly from formal sessions, whereas three out of five described their learning in relation to informal networking. No significant differences were found in terms of delegates’ country income level, professional profile or role at the symposium.

In terms of tools and resources provided to delegates by symposium organizers with the aim of facilitating learning, the symposium survey revealed that half of the delegates reported having used the symposium application (app) very often or always during the symposium. Its use as a resource

9

to network or exchange information was, however, much more limited, with 1 out of 10 delegates reporting to have used the symposium app in this respect. Post-symposium survey further showed that approximately one-third of delegates perceived Health Systems Global’s (HSG) social media as having contributed to their learning during the symposium itself. The perceived contribution of HSG social media before symposium and post-symposium was rated to be weaker, where one-fifth of delegates reported this medium made an important contribution to their learning.

Delegates from LMIC were more likely to use the symposium app to exchange information (13.4% vs. 3.5%; p<0.0) or to participate in creating or following a collective dialogue (16.2% vs. 3.5%; p<0.01). Testimonials reveal that some delegates identified room for improvement with the symposium app in terms of improved search capacity, communicating last-minute changes and other advanced features. Delegates from LMIC were also at least two times more likely to use HSG social media than those from HIC before, during and after the symposium.

Recommendations following from Evaluation Question #4: The role of social media should be explored for HSR2018 in terms of both promoting inclusive learning that goes beyond the time frame of the event, and including health systems professionals beyond those who can attend the event in person. The delegates demonstrated an interest and willingness to use the symposium app and to explore HSG’s social media. This potential can be furthered. Promoting these tools and providing support to delegates to take full advantage of them might be investments that have widespread and lasting benefits.

Emerging Voices for Global Health (EV4GH) is an innovative multi-partner blended

training program for young, promising and emerging health policy & systems

researchers, decision makers and other health system professionals with an interest in

becoming influential global health voices and/or local change makers. EV4GH coaches

“Emerging Voices” to participate actively in international conferences where global

health issues are addressed, and to raise their voice in scientific and policy

debates. EV4GH is now a thematic working group of Health Systems Global.

5

HISTORY

The Emerging Voices program is the initiative of the Institute of Tropical Medicine in

Antwerp, and it aims at empowering health researchers from the Global South by

providing an intensive skills training and facilitate their participation in a global health

conference. EV4GH has a globally representative governing board and a secretariat.

The first Emerging Voices venture (EV2010) ran in parallel with the First Global

Symposium on Health Systems Research in Montreux, Switzerland. It was the Institute of

Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, which decided to encourage people from Global South to

have their voice heard by giving them chance to present their research and policy agenda

on the global platform.

The Second Global Symposium on Health Systems Research took place early November

2012 in Beijing. In view of the success of the EV2010 the WHO Alliance of Health Policy

and Systems Research encouraged an Emerging Voices 2012 track (EV2012). The

selection process was integrated in the Second Global Symposium on Health Systems

Research call for abstracts. We received 300 applications, of which 50 were selected.

Those selected were invited to participate in the full Emerging Voices program, which

was organized in Beijing, jointly with Peking University Health Science Centre.

The EV4GH 2013 edition was linked to the AIDS in Africa Conference (ICASA), ‘Now

more than ever: targeting zero’ in Cape Town, South Africa, 7 to 11 December 2013; it

was hosted by the School of Public Health and Centre for Research in HIV and AIDS at the

University of the Western Cape, South Africa. Within the broad field of HIV in Africa,

EV4GH 2013 had 3 thematic tracks: a clinical track, a prevention track, and a health

systems track.

The EV4GH 2014 track linked up with the Third Global Health Symposium on Health

Systems Research, Science and Practice of people-centred health systems, in Cape Town,

South Africa, from mid-September to 3rd October 2014. The School of Public Health at the

University of Western Cape, South Africa hosted the Emerging Voices for the

second time. Together with the University of Cape Town, Peking University Health

Science Centre, Institute of Public Health Bengaluru India and the Institute of Tropical

Medicine Antwerp joined forces to make this new venture a success. The Third Global

6

Health Symposium on Health Systems Research had allocated 8 thematic tracks in which

the Emerging Voices 2014 were also divided into.

EV4GH- 2016 EDITION

The EV4GH 2016 call was announced in November 2015 in line with the Fourth Global

Symposium for Health Systems research (HSR 2016) by Health Systems Global, which

was to be held between 14th - 18th November 2016 at Vancouver, Canada.

SELECTION PROCESS

Similar to previous editions, the participants for EV4GH 2016 edition also were finalised

through a comprehensive selection process. Along with the application, the aspirants

had to submit an abstract (same abstract submitted to HSR2016), CV, motivation letter

and an essay on Health System Resilience, the theme for HSG Symposium. After initial

screening, 209 applications were found to be complete and were selected for peer-

review.

The peer-review was steered by the EV peer review committee (Kristof Decoster, Elena

Vargas, Prashanth NS, Werner Soors and Sophia Thomas). Reviewers were provided

detailed peer review instructions explaining the procedure for review along with an

excel sheet wherein they had to enter their scores. Abstract, profile (CV + motivation

letter) and essay were scored out of 10 points. The peer reviewers then sent back the

excel sheet after review. The peer review scores were compiled in a master sheet.

Once the peer review was complete, the abstract, profile and essay scores from three

reviewers were summed up and the average was taken to calculate the total score.

The average scores of abstract, profile and essay were used to achieve weighted

scores for each applicant. The abstract and essay was given a weightage of 50% and

the candidate profile was given a weightage of 50%, to arrive at a score out of 100 for

each applicant. Subsequently, a rank list of candidates was created based on their

scores.

The EV the scientific committee consisting of senior representatives of the EV partner

institutes and a few EV governance members, made the final selection, based on ranking

list provided by the peer review committee, and also by factoring in a few other

7

considerations, such as participation from different regions, confirmed scholarship from

HSG, representations from partner institutions etc, in order to get to a good mix of

profiles.

TRAINING

The curriculum planning for the EV 2016 edition started well in advance and these

discussions were steered by Kristof Decoster (EV governance member) and Prashanth

NS (EV Chair person). Other governance members also actively participated in these

discussions. EV alumni based in Vancouver were contacted for their help in coordinating

with local collaborating centres and they volunteered to provide necessary assistance

and inputs. Similar to previous batches, the training programme for the current EVs

were also organized two phases, distance coaching and the face-to-face coaching.

DISTANCE COACHING

Continuing with the tradition of Emerging Voices, this edition also introduced online

distance coaching before the face-to-face sessions. The programme was launched on 11th

August and continued till 15th October 2016 and EVs were expected to dedicate 2-3

hours per week for learning.

The key objectives of these sessions were

• To help the participants fine tune their research communication and presentation

skills

• To orient them about different health systems research themes, and to initiate

discussions related to the selected themes.

• To provide a platform to Eves to get to know each other and for peer learning.

The online distance-coaching programme was hosted by EV4GH secretariat at Institute

of Public Health (IPH), India. A core team was formed which worked on different aspects

of the distance coaching. Kerry Scott, EV 2014 alumna, led this programme along with

members from EV secretariat. We had a dedicated team of young and enthusiastic IT and

media experts who were constantly supported by ITM. Ten of the former EVs

volunteered to be the facilitators for the online phase. Each of these facilitators was

assigned 4-5 EVs to closely associate with.

The curriculum was designed with the help of experts, from IPH & ITM. EV governance

members gave their inputs in fine-tuning it. We covered a wide range of topics like mind

mapping, multimedia principles and poster presentation. Based on the interest areas of

EVs, they were allotted to the thematic discussion groups. The thematic groups focussed

on relevant health system concepts/ methods namely, resilience, qualitative research

and gender in health policy and systems research. There was a lot of cross-fertilisation of

ideas between the different thematic groups.

Each course module was released systematically over the weeks to ensure effective

learning. The teaching methods included video lectures, quizzes and activities like

discussion forums, presentation and poster submissions. The EVs received constant

feedbacks from their facilitators on mind maps and presentations helped them reflect

and prepare for their big day (EV preconference/ HSG symposium). We also introduced

peer feedback mechanism, which proved to be fruitful in shaping their presentations.

Overall, it was a good experience hosting participants from around the world and how

they came together on an online platform to learn and share. The programme ended with

submissions of posters online for which the feedback session was planned during face-

to-face sessions.

13

THE FACE-TO-FACE PHASE

The EV face-to-face programme at Vancouver was conducted over 11 days from 3rd to

11th of November and ended with a preconference, jointly organized with Global Health

Students and Young Professionals Summit , Canada, on 12th and 13th of November, 2016.

There was an exposure visit organized as part of the face-to-face programme, with an

objective of orienting the participants to Canadian health system. A day was dedicated

for ‘evidence to policy’, where the participants got the opportunity listen to policy

makers and interact with them. EVs also actively took part in the HSR symposium, and

the satellite sessions held as part of the symposium.

RESEARCH COMMUNICATION

The research communication sessions were conducted with an objective of refining

overall presentation skills of participants and tweaking their posters & presentations for

their performance at the preconference and at HSR symposium. The participants were

divided in to small groups and first few sessions focused on how to better communicate

research findings to different target audience such as

▪ Public health students

▪ Technical experts

▪ Policy makers

▪ Programme implementers

▪ Journalists/media

▪ General public

Many innovative strategies were discussed, including the ‘elevator pitch’, where the

candidates were asked to make a pitch to the policy maker, as if they met in an elevator.

Other topics covered were, how to present research findings visually, and optimal use of

social media. A webinar was organised on data visualisation. The optional sessions

addressed topics such as blogging and creative methods of presentation. These sessions

were concluded by the ‘rehearsal day’ where the participants presented their posters to

their fellow EVs. This was an excellent platform for peer learning and support. The

expert from IDS communication, Sophie Marsden and Vivienne Benson joined these

sessions and gave the participants advise and tips on their presentations.

14

THEMATIC DISCUSSIONS

Thematic sessions were organized in the afternoons and the participants were divided in

to five groups for these sessions. Each group had a senior facilitator who was an expert

in that topic and junior facilitator to assist him/her. The themes discussed were

▪ Equity

▪ Health system strengthening

▪ Power and politics in health systems

▪ Health system resilience

After introducing these concepts to the participants, they were asked to go back to their

abstracts with these concepts in mind and reflect on how their work contributes to

larger literature and debates around these topics. The facilitators also linked these

themes to the issues raised in the ‘big talks’.

BIG TALKS

‘Big Talks’ organised as part of the face to face programme were typically sessions

lasting for an hour, where a public health expert shared his/her views on a relevant

public health topic and the EVs had the opportunity to listen and interact with him/her.

These Big talks were delivered by Prof Wim Vam Damme, Institute of Tropical Medicine

15

Antwerp, Belgium, Prof Kelly Lee, Simon Frasor University, Canada. Prof. Marjolein

Dieleman, Royal Tropical Medicine, Amsterdam, Netherlands and Prof Steve Morgan,

Health policy in the School of Population and Public Health, Canada.

The speakers deliberated on a variety of pertinent issues in public health, from health

system challenges of recent times, to global health governance. The participants got the

opportunity to raise relevant issues related to their own context and get the speakers’

perspectives.

SMALL TALKS

Each day ended with a ‘small talk’ featuring light skill-based sessions. Some of the topics

covered were- how to use social media platforms effectively, Internet searching tools,

etc. As a continuation of small talks, a tune-up cafe was organised at the venue in the

evenings, where EVs were able to clarify any queries and receive one-to-one assistance

on any aspect of the learning they may require.

16

CANADIAN HEALTH SYSTEM VISISTS

We organised a Canadian health system exposure visit for the EV team including the

current batch and the facilitators. The tem members were divided into 7 groups and

each group visited 2-3 local health services. The field visits were followed by interaction

with guests from the local Canadian health system.

During the programme, adequate time was set aside for the EVs to rehearse their poster

or oral presentations, with peer-to-peer feedback. Training was marked by different

innovative and creative ways of presentations such as fish bowls, elevator pitch etc.

17

PRECONFERENCE

Emerging Voices 2016, along with the Canadian Global Health Student and Young

Professionals Summit, organised a pre conference at Simon Fraser University,

Vancouver. This pre-conference provided a platform for EVs to engage with the Canadian

GHSYP and get their perspectives relating to the thematic tracks of the 4th Global

Symposium on Health Systems Research. EVs presented their work before an invited

audience of senior public health professionals and civil society experts and get their

feedback and suggestions on the same. The pre-conference was an excellent platform for

EVs to network and learn from fellow PH practitioners.

.

18

PARTICIPATION IN HSG SYMPOSIUM

As mentioned earlier, EV 2016 training was organised ahead of the 4th Global

Symposium on Health Systems Research, themed ‘Resilient and responsive health

systems for a changing world’, which was organized in Vancouver, Canada from

14th to 18th November, 2016. Many of the EV participants from this batch and EV alumni

had their abstracts accepted for the 3rd HSG symposium ( details given as annex- ) They

made their presence felt as a powerful group by participating in panel discussions,

poster and oral presentations. Lokossou Virgil (EV 2016) Freddy Kitutu (EV 2013) and

Olatunji Adetokunboh (EV 2013) won “best poster” prizes in specific thematic areas.

During the symposium, an EV thematic working group lunch was organized, where EVs

got the opportunity to interact with our partners and well wishers. It provided an

excellent opportunity for former and current EVs to come together and exchange ideas.

Nana Yaa Boadu (EV 2014) got the opportunity to present at the closing plenary and

Kopano Matlwa Mabaso (EV 2012) moderated the closing plenary.

19

SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT

EV has always been actively involved in social media and this year also we continued this

engagement. The participants used social media platforms such as twitter and face book

during the EV programme as well as HSG symposium, to connect and raise appropriate

responses/share their thoughts about a public health issue with the global public health

community.

20

The EV members used various platforms such as blogs and twitter to reflect on a variety

of issues, during and after the training programme. A few blogs by the participants are

FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS

We had the EV wrap up meeting on November 19th, 2016, where the participants as well

as facilitators shared their views on the training, HSG symposium and overall experience

of being part of the EV programme. Overall, the participants shared that this was an

enriching programme professionally and personally and opined that this was a great

platform to get to know people from diverse backgrounds and learn from each other.

They discussed in detail about their learning and provided some suggestion to further

improvise the programme. They stressed that the sessions encouraged them to engage

more in critical thinking and provocative thinking. They also suggested that there needs

to be more opportunities for team building activities, and that possibility of conducting

some sessions in a different location could be explored.

FACILITATORS’ REFLECTIONS

On the final day EV facilitators and governance members gathered to share their

thoughts about 2016 edition of the programme and more importantly, to discuss the way

forward. EV co- chair Asmat Malik presented the EV strategic plan, which was followed

by a discussion.

The facilitators and governance members shared their thoughts on how to strengthen

the content and delivery of the programme as well as how the EV network could be

further strengthened. The other issue discussed was about how potential funding

agencies could be contacted and the principles to follow in accepting funding from

different agencies and the terms of reference with regard to their engagement with EV.

After the deliberations, the group decided that we should revisit the EV mandate and

encourage the funding agencies supporting/ enhancing EV - mentorship, opportunities

and career pathways. Furthermore, it was also decided that on requests related to

23

funding agencies requesting collaboration to support EVs, the governance body would

screen these proposals before announcing the call. If approved, then the EV governance

along with the Secretariat will take this forward.

CHALLENGES FACED

The EV secretariat, with its limited resources, managed to successfully conduct EV

2016 training programme. We could do it only because we received immense support

from the EV alumni’s, governance members and most importantly from ITM, Antwerp.

However, it wasn’t an easy task for us; our young volunteers faced many challenges in

organising this programme. Coordinating an event to be conducted in another country,

unknown to us posed its own challenges in terms of logistics. Apart from that, widely

varied visa requirements of different countries also posed huge challenge in

coordination with the participants. A few selected candidates couldn’t participate in the

face-to-face programme due to visa restrictions.
