\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The start of a journey<\/strong>
\nIn January 2016, shortly after 194 countries signed on to the Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs) and an ambitious, universal, and transformational vision for global development, The BMJ<\/em> published an editorial titled \u201cAccelerating achievement of the sustainable development goals<\/a>.\u201d The article drew on ideas that had emerged from a meeting\u2014hosted in Geneva by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies\u2014of over 60 policy research and academic institutions working towards improved health outcomes.<\/p>\n

Participants concluded that think tank and health policy institutions are key players in the knowledge-policy interface for health, largely through their high quality, policy relevant research and engagement; their ability to carry out the monitoring and tracking of progress around policy implementation; and as places for policy dialogue and the bridging between national and global efforts relating to the SDGs.<\/p>\n

That first meeting generated considerable enthusiasm and momentum. Yet it also highlighted a danger: for\u00a0although the SDGs have the potential to be a game changer in global health, \u201cif the millennium development goals and other global goals are any indication, initial progress will be slow. The cost of this slow action is likely to be measurable in lives lost<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, a strong message was framed by participants in response to this challenge: that unless knowledge sharing, capacity building, and innovation across the full extent of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are intentionally supported and sustained, progress towards achieving the health related SDGs could be severely compromised.<\/p>\n

Some difficult questions for think tanks and institutions emerged from the discussions:<\/p>\n

In the context of global health, can policy research institutions really help catalyse progress towards the SDGs?<\/p>\n

Is it sufficient, or feasible, that they engage in broader policy development?<\/p>\n

Can they measure the outcomes of policies, identify determinants of success, and act as knowledge brokers?<\/p>\n

Will they give voice to civil society by holding governments and multilateral entities accountable?<\/p>\n

How can they help strengthen global and national healthcare systems by helping to create, measure, evaluate, and disseminate innovation in a timely way?<\/p>\n

How could they catalyse action by helping address the \u201cNorth-South\u201d divide by enabling more \u201cSouth-South\u201d partnerships and disseminating the best ideas widely, no matter where they originate?<\/p>\n

Why is this important now?<\/strong>
\nThe \u201cfirst 1000 days\u201d of implementation have been identified as critical<\/a> to the SDGs’ success. To avoid the dangerous perception that there is still plenty of time to act before 2030 draws near, the International Development Research Centre<\/a> (IDRC) and the Think Tank Initiative<\/a> (TTI), collaborating closely with the Graduate Institute, Geneva<\/a>\u00a0and other partners, have convened a series of global and regional consultations in Geneva, Berlin, Kampala, Rio de Janeiro, Vancouver, Islamabad, London, Montreal, and most recently in a meeting of West African representatives in Dakar, Senegal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0real sense of urgency<\/strong>
\nThese consultations have conveyed a real sense of urgency: it is clear that policy making processes can no longer remain business as usual. There is a pressing need to put in place now the thinking and collaboration required to catalyse progress towards the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Health policy is such an important entry point to achieving the multi-sectoral, interdisciplinary nature of the SDGs, given its interrelation with social determinants such as income, employment, food security, education, gender, water and sanitation, and climate.<\/p>\n

The SDG mantra of “leaving no one behind” applies resoundingly to the pervasive health inequalities that challenge all countries. Leaving no one behind will only be achieved if the most marginalised are brought into the discussions of how to solve health inequalities. And, as Kickbusch notes in the first article of this new series<\/a> in The BMJ<\/em>, without good governance in health policy making\u2014coupled with adequate support for the policy research institutions that are generating sustained flows of high quality evidence, data, and analysis\u2014the desired progress towards achieving the SDGs may not be realised.<\/p>\n

Continuing the dialogue<\/strong>
\nTo help respond to these challenges, IDRC and the Graduate Institute have helped support the emergence of a new global collective \u201cThink_SDGs<\/a>\u201d (T<\/strong>hink Tanks, H<\/strong>ealth policy I<\/strong>nstitutions, N<\/strong>etworks, and K<\/strong>nowledge), which aims to collaborate in generating and sharing knowledge, and to combine the efforts of those working at global, regional, national, and local levels.<\/p>\n

As a key part of its response, IDRC understands that public engagement is crucial; and so is very pleased to collaborate with The BMJ<\/em> and Think_SDGs in supporting a collection of articles that will include a guiding framework for policy researchers seeking to catalyse progress towards the health related SDGs; an exploration of the relationship between health and trade<\/a>, using antimicrobial resistance as a case study; and a country example from Guatemala of how citizens can become actively engaged in accountability mechanisms relating to the SDGs.<\/p>\n

More articles in this series will follow in due course, and The BMJ<\/em> is also keen to publish opinion pieces about emerging dialogue around health and the SDGs. We hope many readers will also take advantage of this facility to share their views and we welcome responses to the ideas and experiences conveyed in this series.<\/p>\n
