Building a collaborative research culture for multisectoral policy and implementation in Cambodia through co-production

The authors emphasize that to take advantage of opportunities and overcome the challenges of co-production, three key enablers are required to build a more collaborative and multisectoral research culture in Cambodia. First, there is a need for more support from high level leaders in the country to encourage greater engagement between sectors and with researchers on policy and implementation. Second, development partners can play a greater role in providing “joined-up” support for the major development challenges that are the focus of the SDGs such as health in SDG 3, including multisectoral financing, and explicit budget lines and technical assistance for policy and implementation research, with a specific focus on building the capacity of emerging researchers to undertake “embedded” and policy-relevant research. Third, there is scope to expand the involvement of patients, caregivers and communities in the production of knowledge to solve multisectoral health problems.
