Global Evidence Producers Group

Global evidence producers

If you’re searching for evidence-related global public goods – particularly evidence syntheses (either on their own or as inputs to technology assessments and guidelines – then here’s a snapshot of evidence producers you should have on your radar, along with a brief summary of the forms of evidence they specialize in and the range of topics they cover. 

For a longer list of evidence producers that have a partial focus on evidence-related global public goods, but are primarily focused on providing contextualized evidence-support in their own countries, see the COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making (COVID-END).
