Health Evidence Network (HEN)

The World Health Organisation’s HEN synthesises the best available evidence in response to policy-makers’ questions.

Drawing on evidence from different disciplines and both peer-reviewed and grey literature, HEN synthesis reports summarize what is known about a particular policy issue to produce a compendium of good practices for making policies, processes, procedures and regulations more culturally appropriate, effective, people-centred and user-friendly for policy-makers.

The Evaluation and Evidence toolkits go hand in hand. Using and generating evidence to inform decision making is vital to improving services and people’s lives.
