Bridging the divide between research and policy in Nigeria: The role of a health policy advisory committee

Journal article

Our research group at Ebonyi State University in Nigeria, with the help of the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, has worked with government and other stakeholders to create a Health Policy Advisory Committee. We describe the key elements of the committee and how it has helped bridge gaps between researchers and policymakers to facilitate the use of research-based evidence in policy and programme development.
