Project overview

Advancing Country-Led Innovation Introduction through Government Engagement and EvideNce

The ALIGN Consortium aims to improve health outcomes by strengthening the critical decision-making systems that determine how health product innovations are prioritized and introduced in countries, to make those systems more effective and efficient. Comprised of the Duke Global Health Innovation Center, the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC), Keprecon, and ENDA Santé, the ALIGN Consortium supports the national governments in Kenya, Senegal, and South Africa to enhance innovation introduction looking at four focus areas: whole-of-government coordination and capacity strengthening, data-driven decision making, whole-of-market engagement (including national, regional, and global engagement), and portfolio-based planning. The goal is to create more accountable, resilient health systems that deliver better health outcomes faster for all, and to generate insights, tools, and resources that can be used by stakeholders around the world.
