Description
Anju Vaidya and co-authors wrote a 2025 report on a training fellowship in Nepal that teaches health staff how to sum up research proof. Good policy should rest on proof, but proof alone is not enough. Plans must also fit local facts and the values of those affected, which takes skill to weigh.
The fellowship is part of a larger project on proof-based health policy in Nepal, funded by the British Council. The team spread word of the course through work channels and social media. Close to 100 people applied, even as a social media ban and unrest in the country made outreach hard. Those chosen went through a strict selection round. The report tracks how the course is going and what its mixed group of scholars, officials, and practitioners has done so far.
