Day 3 of #OTN2025 kicked off with a panel discussion moderated by @guleidfhg, focusing on policy engagement and the critical role researchers play in driving impact. Panelists @Ambroseagweyu (@KEMRI_Wellcome), Arjen Dondorp (@MORUBKK), and Naomi Gibson (@UniofOxford ) emphasized

Key takeaways: ✅ Actor roles & influence in KT is shaped by institutional mandates that affect their agency ✅ KT and policy-making are co-produced ✅ Efforts to improve KT should navigate institutional structures, enable boundary spanning roles, and shift power dynamics.

In our latest publication, we demonstrate and discuss how knowledge translation (KT) depends on more than the availability/accessibility of high quality evidence. Actor institutions and power greatly shape the process.

Engaging frontline workers and policymakers is complex. Time constraints, staff turnover, and competing priorities made sustained co-production difficult. How do we sustain engagement in groups whose capacity is already stretched thin?

Some key reflections based on some of the challenges we faced: How do we adapt *truly* participatory approaches when working with policy-makers & implementers who work in hierarchical institutional systems?

Evaluations offer valuable insights, but their findings are often underused in improving health systems. In our study, we aimed to address this by involving relevant stakeholders (policymakers & implementers) in the evaluation design and co-development of action plans

On #UHCDay, we reflect on how evaluations of health financing interventions bring us closer to #HealthForAll. But how do we ensure findings are used to strengthen systems in real-world settings? Our newly published paper explores this: https://t.co/6vVgL9EjhY

I think I’ll need a 3 week vacation to process everything 🤔
