Jesse; Sombie, Issiaka; Uro-Chukwu, Henry; Johnson, ErmelThis brief puts forward policy options and strategies towards improved health equity and access to health care services in Benin. The concept of health equity is a critical component that requires strengthening to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes in Burkina Faso. UNICEF has designed the EQUitable Impact Sensitive Tool (EQUIST) to enable the global health community to improve equity in MNCH and to reduce health disparities. The brief reviews findings from a study using the EQUIST Situation Analysis of maternal and child health outcomes in Benin by sub-national categorization, wealth, and residence.Item Open Access Application of equitable impact sensitive tool (EQUIST) in evidence informed policymaking to improve maternal and child health outcomes in Senegal(2018-03-28) Uneke, Jesse; Sombie, Issiaka; Uro-Chukwu, Henry; Johnson, ErmelThe policy brief reviews evidence drawn from the application of EQUitable Impact Sensitive Tool (EQUIST). In terms of improving maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes, extending services to the most deprived and marginalized communities not only averts more deaths, but also is more cost effective. UNICEF designed the EQUitable Impact Sensitive Tool (EQUIST online tool http://equist.info/en/pages/home) to enable the global health community to improve equity in MNCH and reduce health disparities between marginalized and wealthier groups. Among the most critical health systems components that requires strengthening is the concept of health equity.Item Open Access Approche NEP et prise de décisions factuelles dans le domaine de la SMNI(2016-02-19) Sangho, HamadounItem Open Access An assessment of maternal, newborn and child health implementation studies in Nigeria : implications for evidence informed policymaking and practice(TUOMS PRESS, 2016) Uneke, Chigozie Jesse; Sombie, Issiaka; Keita, Namoudou; Lokossou, Virgil; Johnson, Ermel; Ongolo-Zogo, PierreThis review provides insight into the process of evidence-informed policymaking and knowledge transfer based on implementation research, focusing on Mother, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) in Nigeria. Although a reduction in maternal and child mortality in Nigeria could be attributed to implementation of various intervention policies, the study made clear that new and effective policies were informed by research evidence derived from implementation research. Implementation science is the use of strategies to adopt, adapt, and integrate evidence-based health interventions and policies. It is thus able to change patterns of practice within specific settings.Item Open Access Assessment of national maternal and child health policy-makers’ knowledge and capacity for evidence-informed policy-making in Nigeria(Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2017) Uneke, Chigozie Jesse; Sombie, Issiaka; Keita, Namoudou; Lokossou, Virgil; Johnson, Ermel; Ongolo-Zogo, PierreThe study aimed to engage Nigerian maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) policy-makers and stakeholders and to assess their existing knowledge and capacity on the use of research evidence for policy-making and practice. A total of 40 participants completed the questionnaire. The outcomes suggest that a future stakeholders’ engagement event could serve as an important platform to assess policy-makers’ capacity for evidence-informed policy-making. Constraints to capacity include lack of access to, and inability to synthesize, adapt and utilize available research evidence.Item Open Access Assessment of policymakers’ engagement initiatives to promote evidence informed health policy making in Nigeria(2017-05-24) Uneke, Chigozie Jesse; Sombie, Issiaka; Keita, Namoudou; Lokossou, Virgil; Johnson, Ermel; Ongolo-Zogo, PierreThis review assesses efforts and initiatives that have been undertaken to deliberately engage policymakers and other stakeholders in the health sector in Nigeria for the promotion of evidence-informed policymaking. The capacity constraints of policymakers to access, synthesize, adapt and utilize available research is one of the most challenging issues in low- and middle-income countries. The article emphasizes finding mechanisms to bridge the gaps needed to promote long term interactions between researchers/scientists and policy-makers.Item Open Access Item Open Access Atelier des parties prenantes en santé maternelle néonatale et infantile au Sénégal, 9 mars 2017, à Dakar, Niger(2017-03-09) Sombie, Issiaka; Johnson, ErmelItem Open Access Item Open Access Item Open Access Item Open Access Communiqué issued at the end of a 3-day stakeholders’ meeting on the second edition of Nigeria research days for maternal newborn and child health with the theme “Integration of mental health into reproductive and community health : community mobilisation and engagement” - Wuse II Abuja, Nigeria, 24th to 26th September, 2019(2019) Taylor, Tinuola; James, Femi; Brooks, Godwin; Iloh, KenechukwuThis second workshop promoted by the West African Health Organization (WAHO) shared research findings from three IMCHA projects in Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health plus Nutrition (MNCAH+N) in Nigeria, and discussed the use of research in decision making in MNCH. It also enhanced the capacity of stakeholders to use the regional evidence-based policy making guidance tool. The report briefly outlines workshop activities along with concluding recommendations.Item Open Access Connaissances et capacités à utiliser les données probantes des parties prenantes de la santé maternelle et infantile au Burkina Faso(2014-10-20) Sombie, Issiaka; Zida, A.; Johnson, E.; Lokossou, V.; Mongbo, Y.; Bouwaye, A.; Keita, N.
