| Title: | Policy dialogues: facilitators perceived role and influence |
| Authors: | Olivia Biermann Tanja Kuchenmüller Ulysses de Barros Panisset Mark Leys |
| Abstract: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to better understand facilitators’ perceived role and influence on a policy dialogue’s (PD) process and impact. PDs enable interactions between policy makers,researchers and other stakeholders – one of the factors associated with promoting evidence-informed policy making.Design/methodology/approach – This is an exploratory study based on semi-structured interviews with ten key informants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, North and South America. Participants were purposefully sampled based on their experience in facilitating or observing PDs organized by the WHO’s Evidence-informed Policy Network. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative method. Findings – A successful PD relies on a structured process used to catalyze impact. Facilitators contribute to a successful PD through their facilitation skills, for example, helping to get to an informed judgment; knowledge, for example, about the health system; attitudes, for example, valuing the PD process over its outcomes; and personal attributes, for example, credibility. Facilitators’ involvement in preparatory and follow-up actions are equally paramount for a PD’s success. Challenges in implementing PDs can be prevented/attenuated, for example, through stakeholder analysis to identify suitable PD participants, and anticipate power constellations or potential conflicts.Research limitations/implications – Research should focus on the overall process of a PD – especially on preparation and follow-up activities and their influence on a PD’s success. Originality/value – Informed by harnessing practical experiences, this paper outlines facilitators’ skills, attributes, attitudes, knowledge and how these can be used to influence a PD’s success |
