Knowledge cafe meetings

Knowledge café is one among many initiatives of the knowledge café secretariat. Knowledge café meetings are a semi-formal, interactive discussion platform for health system stakeholders to discuss recent evidence on priority health issues and its implications especially for relevance and use in health decision-making e.g. policy development, planning, programming, and budgeting. The knowledge café, as a term sounds very informal. Unlike the formality of the research conferences, policy dialogues, technical working groups or summit, it is semi-formal setup which inspires critical, frank discussion on the usefulness of the available evidence and its applicability in promoting the use/uptake of evidence.
