(2023). Addressing the challenges of implementing evidence-based prioritisation in global health.. BMJ Glob Health. 8. 6. (pp. e012450-).2059-7908https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/70330Global health requires evidence-based approaches to improve health and decrease inequalities. In a roundtable discussion between health practitioners, funders, academics and policy-makers, we recognised key areas for improvement to deliver better-informed, sustainable and equitable global health practices. These focus on considering information-sharing mechanisms and developing evidence-based frameworks that take an adaptive function-based approach, grounded in the ability to perform and respond to prioritised needs. Increasing social engagement as well as sector and participant diversity in whole-of-society decision-making, and collaborating with and optimising on hyperlocal and global regional entities, will improve prioritisation of global health capabilities. Since the skills required to navigate drivers of pandemics, and the challenges in prioritising, capacity building and response do not sit squarely in the health sector, it is essential to integrate expertise from a broad range of fields to maximise on available knowledge during decision-making and system development. Here, we review the current assessment tools and provide seven discussion points for how improvements to implementation of evidence-based prioritisation can improve global health.(c) The author/shttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.enenvironmental healthhealth policyhealth systems evaluationpublic healthHumansGlobal HealthEvidence-Based PracticeJournal article10.1136/bmjgh-2023-0124502059-7908CC BY NC 4.0journal-articlee012450-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/37290897e012450bmjgh-2023-012450
