3.  Policy Monitoring and Communication

Policy monitoring and communication is an effort to assess how policies are formulated, enacted and implemented. The HLPC seek to track policy outcomes, challenges, barriers and unintended consequences in policy implementation. HLPC systematically collects, analyse and communicate data related to the process and outcomes of policy development and implementation. Policy monitoring includes tracking legislation, regulatory and policy documents through development, implementation and evaluation phases. The impact of policy on key populations is a critical narrative for our monitoring and communication. Monitoring delivery of health services at both primary and tertiary levels of the health system is important for protecting health rights and values of equity, quality and accountability. Monitoring efforts help to generate evidence for health policy advocacy. HLPC communicates findings of policy monitoring through a number of channels and mediums like radio, publications, social media and audio-visual mechanisms. Findings are shared with relevant stakeholders.
