EXECUTIVE SUMMARY1. Health managers and policy makers need evidence-based information to infonn decision-making inprogrammatic and policy matters. Such information should emanate from health research.Unfortunately, research has not been accorded the priority that it deserves in this Region.2. Inadequate resources coupled with a feeling of rivalry and competition rather than cooperationbetween policy makers and managers on the one hand, and the researchers on the other, explain in partthe inadequate use of research to guide managers and policy makers.3. Any country, particularly developing countries in the African Region of WHO, no matter how poor,should use research to promote knowledge, guide policy, strengthen health action and maximize the useof Iimited resources in order to improve human health.4. The Regional Committee, at its forty-seventh session, requested the Regional Office "to formulateand propagate a regional strategy that would help strengthen national capacity in health research".5. The Regional Committee is therefore invited to review the proposed strategic health research planfor the African Region for the period 1999-2003 and give suggestions that would enable the RegionalOffice, during the course of the plan's implementation to strengthen national capacity to carry outrelevant health research; develop necessary mechanisms for ensuring adequate funding, effectivecoordination and efficient management of research; and promote the use of research resu1ts to addressmajor health issues and problems.Описание
