鈥淲hat role can implementation science play in tailoring rights-based strategies to promote more equitable health outcomes?鈥�

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) play an instrumental role in ensuring that state policies and programmes are tailored to meet the health needs of disadvantaged populations. In the early 2000s, when HIV/AIDS was at its peak in sub-Saharan Africa, CSOs led the advancement of affordable antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. Although significant reform has been achieved by organizations in countries around the world, several contextual barriers still hinder CSOs ability to realize more equitable access to care. With its ability to highlight the contexts in which CSO advocacy and litigation strategies succeed or fail, implementation science offers a viable approach to guide CSOs in their efforts. This presentation considers the way methods in implementation science can enhance our understanding of the contexts in which CSOs rights-based strategies may result in more improved health outcomes.
