Project Summary

Strengthening public health research capacity to inform evidence based policies in Tunisia (CONFIDE) project aims to establish the Center for Evidence into Health Policy (C4EHP), sustained by all project partners in the benefit of the three Tunisian Universities involved in the project: University of Tunis, University of Sfax and University of Sousse. Core activities: (1) Development and implementation of C4EHP designed in order to ease future collaborations in the field of public health research, health promotion and evidence-based public health policy; (2) Delivery of the Research into Policy training program (modules: public health research, health promotion, evidence-based public health policy); (3) Consolidation of national and local partnerships between the public health academic and non-academic sector to provide trainees with a set of key transferable skills and career development opportunities through networking activities and trainee internship placements.At individual level the Research into Policy training program is expected to improve (1) lecturers and teaching assistants ’ knowledge and skills in evidence-based public health policy and enhance their ability to provide the further dissemination of knowledge by teaching the face-to-face modules within their universities and act as members of C4EHP; (2) trainees’ knowledge and skills on evidence-based public health policies. At institutional level, the project impacts the three Tunisian Universities, as well as the Ministry of Health and its subordonating public health authorities, NGOs and private companies by offering internship placements for trainees. C4EHP has as well a long-term impact in sustaining the network developed between the public and private institutions. At regional and national level, the impact is given by the development of an ecosystem C4EHP based on a communication platform offering a constant communication flow and sharing within all project’s participants and beneficiaries.
