The Rapid Advice Tool for Country Action on Evidence-Informed Policy-Making (“Rapid Advice Tool”) has been developed based on the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Action Plan for Evidence-Informed Policy-Making (EIPM) to support countries efforts toward the institutionalization of EIPM at national level.
In a landmark Regional Committee Resolution in 2019 (EM/RC66/R.5), a regional framework for action to improve national institutional capacity for the use of evidence in health policy-making was endorsed and member states committed to scaling up initiatives to foster EIPM. The regional action plan has been developed for implementation of the framework and summarizes the actions that need to be taken in the region.
The "Rapid Advice Tool" provides countries with a set of priority actions that will help institutionalization of EIPM and development of a national action plan. The priority actions recommended by this tool will be based on country context and are aligned with the strategic priorities recommended by the Regional Action Plan.
To ensure successful implementation of the tool, the Ministry of Health should carefully adhere to the necessary steps and requirements outlined in the "Guide for use of the Rapid Advice Tool for Country Action on Evidence-Informed Policy-Making".
