These guides are intended for those people responsible for preparing and supporting the use of policy briefs and ensuring that decisions about health systems are well-informed by research evidence. The guides focus specifically on these issues in the context of African health systems and the examples used are taken from policy briefs that address important problems in African countries

These tools were written for people responsible for making decisions about health policies and programmes (i.e., health system managers and policymakers) and for those who support them.
