Pushing past platitudes; from co-design to holding leaders to account for achieving real system transformation felt by everyday people in everyday life [1]

[]

Date: 2024-02-08

Countless decisions are made every day that affect citizens but do not include them. That reality results in suboptimal services, programs, and policies that fail to deliver on the expressed and diverse needs of citizens. However, citizens bring a unique vantage point and when their insights and experiences are built-in to design and execution processes, it can drastically improve outcomes. This webinar will showcase effective structures and processes – such as citizen panels, citizen forums and co-design labs – that support citizens to have a voice at decision-making tables so they can better hold leaders to account for achieving the system transformations that citizens need – in health, education and beyond.

In this fourth session in the series, we will explore practical ways to make evidence-based choices the default or easy option for everyday citizens. Our discussion will push past the common rhetoric that often surrounds conversations of co-design and system transformation to explore how to bring about real change, felt by diverse populations, with citizens guiding the way. The webinar series is hosted by three groups working together to ‘put evidence at the centre of everyday life,’ including Cochrane (the world’s largest producer of evidence syntheses and home to the Cochrane Consumer Network), the Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges (with one if its three implementation priorities being ‘putting evidence at the centre of everyday life,’ which is being overseen by the Citizen Leadership Group), and the World Health Organization’s Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) with its work on Citizen Engagement in Evidence-informed Policymaking.
