Summit Themes

The Global Evidence and Implementation Summit's overarching theme was evidence, synthesis and implementation: creating impact for stronger communities around the world.

Under this central theme were five core sub-themes:

1. Understanding what works

2. Achieving scale and sustainability

3. Methods for impact and implementation evaluation and synthesis

4. Using evidence for better policy, programs and practice

5. National and global cooperation and partnerships

We welcomed abstract submissions that presented evidence, either from new primary studies or evidence synthesis, of what programs work, for who, why and at what cost.
