Implementation Science

Too often, promising health interventions do not reach the world’s most vulnerable or are not effectively adapted to community needs and constraints. This often results in critical needs remaining unmet and growing disparities in health outcomes, despite significant investment seeking to address these issues. The Alliance has been exploring practical solutions to close the gap between what we know and what we do, using the lens of implementation science, with thanks to Gilead Sciences for making this exploration possible.

Alliance’s Initiative on Strengthening Multi-Sector Partnerships Seeks Participants in Nov. 12 Design Workshop

OCTOBER 10, 2024

On November 12, the Alliance will convene a virtual design workshop to test tools that enhance partnership effectiveness and gather feedback from selected participants. The session, open to 2-3 multi-sector partnerships involving three or more organizations, will provide a space for partners to prototype the tools, discuss their applicability, and refine them for their own use, and broader use. Ideal partnerships to participate will represent organizations from different sectors—such as government, civil society, and private industry—working together to improve health outcomes in marginalized communities.

New Report on Narrowing the Know-Do Gap, Exploring the Intersection of Implementation Science and Health Equity

AUGUST 8, 2024

Considerable advancements and significant investments in global health have marked recent years; yet numerous evidence-based interventions continue to fall short of their full potential. By leveraging the multidisciplinary and multi-sector strength of its members, the Bay Area Global Health Alliance explored these challenges through the lens of implementation science in our new insights report. The project engaged nearly 150 global health leaders across various disciplines and sectors to inform and enhance the design, implementation, and scalability of health solutions.

Building Bridges, Uniting for Impact: 2024 Annual Meeting

MAY 21, 2024

“Global health really is a team effort,” said Colin Boyle, Alliance board chair and Lecturer at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, opening the Bay Area Global Health Alliance’s 4th Annual Meeting, where multisectoral members convened on May 21 to discuss bridging gaps and enhancing collaborative efforts across various sectors to tackle pressing health issues worldwide.

Optimizing Multi-Sector Partnerships to Accelerate Health Equity

APRIL 25, 2024

Considerable advancements—and significant investments—have been made in global health. Numerous evidence-based interventions, however, fail to reach their full potential, hindered by systemic barriers that can exacerbate health inequities. The Bay Area Global Health Alliance, (the Alliance) recently undertook a study to leverage the multidisciplinary, multi-sector strength of its members to address these challenges through the lens of implementation science.

Insights to Action: Ideation on Implementation for Equity Convening

OCTOBER 31, 2023

Too often, promising health interventions do not reach the world’s most vulnerable or are not effectively adapted to community needs and constraints, resulting in critical needs remaining unmet and growing health inequity. On Thursday, October 26, 2023, the Bay Area Global Health Alliance’s Insights to Action event explored practical solutions to close the gap between what we know and what we do, using the lens of implementation science to advance health equity.

Exploring the Intersection of Implementation Science + Health Equity

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

Too often, promising health interventions do not reach the world’s most vulnerable communities or are not effectively adapted to community needs and constraints, resulting in significant unmet needs and growing health inequity. The Bay Area Global Health Alliance, as a multi-sector network and trusted, neutral convener, seeks to better understand this problem and propose practical solutions to close the gap between what we know and what we do, using the lens of implementation science, in order to advance health equity.

Health Equity, AI, and Partnership: 2023 Annual Meeting Highlights

JUNE 9, 2023

“The ambitious agenda [of Africa CDC’s Digital Transformation Strategy] over such a huge continent cannot be achieved unless every available resource is harnessed. And that can only be done through cross-collaboration partnerships,” said Africa CDC’s Chief Digital Health Adviser, Jean Philbert Nsengimana, at the Bay Area Global Health Alliance annual meeting on June 6. Attending were more than 125 members and guests, both online and in person at UCSF.
