ReBUILD overview presentation 3rd health researchers forum - Nick Hooton
1. Nick Hooton – ReBUILD Research Programme Consortium
3rd Health Researchers Forum
Strengthening Health Research Governance in Cambodia
National Institute of Public Health, Cambodia
20th January 2017
The ReBUILD Research Programme Consortium and
supporting national capacity for evidence-based
health systems strengthening in Cambodia
2. Background on ReBUILD
• A UK Aid funded research programme consortium
• Formed in 2011, running until 2017
• To explore different approaches to health system
development in countries that have been affected by
political and social conflict.
Research for Building pro-poor health systems in
countries affected by conflict or crisis
3. Background on ReBUILD
• Decisions made during the post-conflict period can set the
long-term direction of development for the health system.
• Yet health systems research has tended to neglect these
contexts, because it may be more difficult to carry out studies
in difficult environments, and relevant capacity can be weak.
• Current strong focus by international agencies on fragile and
conflict-affected states, and a need to understand how post-
conflict trajectories play out
Rationale:

6. Background on ReBUILD
• Reflect different stages in recovery from conflict or crisis
• Enables us to look at how the post-conflict period has
played out over a long time period (Cambodia) a medium
period (Sierra Leone) and more recently (northern Uganda
and Zimbabwe).
• Affiliates can link us to further countries that can enable us
to explore relationships further
A range of countries and contexts:
9. Research into policy and practice
• Aim: to ensure that the knowledge that we generate is
useful to decision makers and practitioners, both within
partner countries and internationally.
• We work with stakeholders from government,
academia, donors, professional bodies and civil society
to ensure our research is relevant to needs, and
contributes to real change that makes a significant
impact.

11. National capacity for evidence-based
health systems development
Important additional ReBUILD objective is to support:
• National systems for identifying and conducting health
systems research relevant to the needs and priorities
of decision-makers and implementers
• Structures and systems for dialogue between decision-
makers, implementers and researchers
12. Sierra Leone:
• Ebola crisis in a country with still weakened health
systems after conflict
• "the only thing positive about the Ebola
outbreak is that it has created a window
of opportunity to prioritise health
systems research and strengthening”
• Dr Haja Wurie, Sierra Leone
ReBUILD supporting national capacity for
evidence-based health systems development
13. Zimbabwe:
• Ongoing political and economic crisis
• Environment of fear and uncertainty
which affects ability to raise and discuss
policy issues, even when based on
research.
• Also affects the whole process of
conducting research

evidence-based health systems development
14. Cambodia: NIPH leading engagement with stakeholders
Health Researchers Forum
November 2015: 1st HRF:
• Mapping & planning health
systems research in Cambodia
August 2016: 2nd HRF
January 2017 – 3rd HRF:
• Strengthening health research
governance in Cambodia
Some 1.2 billion people are estimated to live in fragile and post conflict states,
The key starting point for ReBUILD was that decisions made early post-conflict and post crisis can steer the long-term development of the health system
In countries affected by conflict, health systems often break down, and emergency assistance is often the main source of care. As recovery begins so should the process of rebuilding health systems. However, in practice not enough is known about the effectiveness of different approaches to health systems strengthening in these settings.

The ReBUILD partners include:
Cambodia Development Resources Institute and now the National Institute of Public Health in Phnom Penh
College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences in Sierra Leone
Makerere SPH in Uganda
Biomedical research and training Institute in Zimbabwe
The UK partners are Queen Margaret University Edinburgh and LSTM, which has the contract with DFID, our funder
This picture was at an early consortium meeting, but shows Barbara McPake, co-research director and presenter by distance on my right; Tom Merrick (please stand) – Chairman of the Consortium Advisory Committee – on my left; and Christopher Samkange in front of the poster – on of our very supportive CAG members (please stand).
I will ask other members of the audience to stand at various points, so that you know who they are and can talk to them in the breaks and over lunch.
So what have we done?
In the planning of ReBUILD we wanted to broaden our reach both in terms of related research areas and geographically. Groups that were signed up as affiliates to ReBUILD were invited to submit proposals for our Responsive Fund. Five were selected. They are all briefly described in the Overview brief with references to written outputs.
TARSC in Zimbabwe looked at UHC and equity in Zimbabwe – Renee Loewenson led on this work – please stand
Alastair Ager – now back at QMU – led on Health Systems Resilience work using a systems dynamics approach to understand, predict and
identify mechanisms that influence the resilience of health systems in contexts of adversity, using case studies in Northern Nigeria, Eastern Cape Province in South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire
Maria Bertone carried out a study on health workers’ remuneration, incentives and accountability in Sierra Leone – alongside ReBUILD’s core work on health workers
Fiona Samuels from ODI (please stand) carried out work on Psychosocial support and service provision for adolescent girls in post-conflict settings in Sri Lanka, Gaza and Liberia.
And a team at Leeds university working with ReBUILD partners in Cambodia used an Appreciative Inquiry approach to investigate Access to obstetric care and referral in rural Cambodia
So since 2011, when ReBUILD started, we covered a lot of ground. About 18 months ago, as many of the individual projects were nearing completion, we started to look more carefully at the body of knowledge emerging from ReBUILD.

Conflict and crisis creates change
Change in the supply of health services: for example damaged infrastructure such as hospitals, health centres, electricity, water; death or flight of health workers; risks to health workers; disruption in supply of medicines and materials
Change in the demand – the changing health needs of the population, for example, trauma – physical as well as psychological; changes in households; increased poverty can lead to illness and difficulty in accessing healthcare
This can lead to enhanced vulnerability of the health system
And what we want our research to contribute to is the development a stronger, pro-poor, health system post conflict and crisis
From our overall research to answer the question : how can decisions made early post conflict or crisis steer the long term development of the health system? ….
Three thematic areas have emerged: – institutions, health workers and communities
We will address these thematic areas in more detail shortly …
ReBUILD has been working with decision makers, implementers and development partners within partner countries and at international level to support the use of the research in policy and practice. Findings from individual partner countries have been shared through relevant national dialogues, while the cross-cutting findings outlined in this series have formed the basis of international-level engagements with implementers, donors and technical support organisations.
