Dear Fahmida,
Thank you for your self-introduction message.
I see your research focuses on *public health, health systems, and aging*, with particular attention to evidence-based policy development in Bangladesh.
I would be very interested to learn more about this.
For example, to what extent does Bangladesh use inernational guidance from WHO and other organisations for policy development? Can you say anything about the process you use to integrate local/national evidence with international guidance, to synthesise national policies?
Also, HIFA is currently undertaking a project on the rols of civil society in evidence-informed policymaking. https://www.hifa.org/projects/support-systems-how-can-decision-making-pr...
Can you describe the role of CSOs in health policy relating to ageing and older persons? For example, do older poeple have a voice through NGO representation?
Many thanks, Neil
