Supporting the Routine Use of Evidence During the Policy-Making Process: A WHO Checklist

x

The first webinar of the WHO Community of Practice (CoP) on the Institutionalisation of Evidence-Informed Decision-Making (EIDM) took place on 25 September 2025, bringing together participants from diverse organisations to explore practical applications of the WHO EIDM Checklist. The session featured a presentation from the Thailand research team, who shared findings from their national study assessing EIDM processes in the health and education sectors through a mixed-methods approach. The study revealed that EIDM is more established in the health sector than in education, with key challenges including leadership gaps and limited evidence synthesis capacity. Participants engaged in meaningful discussions about conceptual and operational challenges, the adaptability of the checklist across cultural and policy contexts, and its role as both a diagnostic and formative evaluation tool. The meeting concluded with plans for a follow-up session in October to continue knowledge exchange and support countries in advancing EIDM institutionalisation.

Workshop

A Participatory workshop  on Evidence-informed Decision-making in Thailand- July 2025 

This July marked a significant step forward for the evidence ecosystem in Thailand, with two milestone events aimed at strengthening the routine use of evidence in public policy.

🔹 Participatory Workshop & Thailand Evidence-Informed Policy Making Forum 2025

Hosted by Chulalongkorn University, this forum was part of the research project “Promoting the Routine Use of Evidence in Policy Processes: A Pilot Study Using the WHO Institutionalisation Checklist”. The event provided a much-needed platform for dialogue and reflection on the current landscape of evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) in the health and education sectors.

Discussions were guided by the WHO’s EIPM Institutionalisation Checklist, covering six key dimensions: governance, standards and processes, leadership, resources, organisational culture, and intersectoral collaboration.
