As a policy document the HFA acknowledges the need for community participation and the importance of empowering both affected communities and local government authorities to manage and reduce disaster risk by having access to the necessary information, resources and authority at the local level. In theory, national platforms or similar inter-disciplinary committees provide a forum for dialogue between all the different stakeholders including representing the interests of those groups who are excluded from decision-making processes.
In practice, these national coordination mechanisms are considered too remote from affected communities to support their meaningful engagement and are difficult to sustain even at the national level.
There is a strong need for greater efforts to strategically and systematically engage affected communities in the development of DRR policies. Civil society organisations — with their diverse range of skills and experiences, their extensive presence at the grassroots level and established relationships with vulnerable groups - are ideally positioned to amplify local voices at the national, regional and international levels, particularly when policy work has been built on a strong evidence base.
Yet the sector is highly fragmented with a multitude of small actors, research, coordination and advocacy capacities are limited, and local initiatives are routinely seen to bypass government authorities making strategic engagement with civil society by governments difficult.
Whilst this may be a one-dimensional view of power in a context where power is dynamic, relational and multi-dimensional, in reality there is a strong and urgent need for all parties government and civil society to build trust and constructive relationships in support of strengthening participatory governance.

Policy formulation is the development of effective and acceptable courses of action for addressing what has been placed on the policy agenda. Effective formulation means that the policy proposed is regarded as a valid, efficient, and implementable solution to the issue at hand.
If the policy is seen as ineffective or unworkable in practice, there is no legitimate reason to propose it. Policy analysts try to identify effective alternatives.
This is the analytical phase of policy formulation. Acceptable formulation means that the proposed course of action is likely to be authorized by the legitimate decision makers, usually through majority-building in a bargaining process. That is, it must be politically feasible. Policy dissemination research. Dissemination and implementation research in health. Translating science into practice.

Strehlenert 1 , L. Richter-Sundberg 1 , 2 , M. Abstract Background Evidence has come to play a central role in health policymaking. Methods Two concurrent national policies were studied during the entire policy process using a longitudinal, comparative case study approach. Results The policies differed regarding the use of evidence in the policy formulation and the extent to which the policy formulation and implementation phases overlapped. Background Evidence has come to play a central role not only in evidence-based medicine but also within health policy [ 1 , 2 ].
Conceptual model for evidence-informed policy formulation and implementation In the current study, a conceptual model for analyzing evidence-informed policy formulation and implementation was developed. Full size image. Methods Study design This study draws on two empirical projects. Data collection For both cases, data covering the whole policy period was collected Case 1 —; Case 2 — Data analysis The transcribed interviews were entered into software for qualitative analysis Open Code 4.
Results Case 1 Agenda setting The initiative to develop the preventive services was raised as a political issue. Using evidence High quality research evidence played a key part in the process. Strategy for dissemination and implementation The guidelines were launched in Capacity to implement During the last guideline development phase, NBHW arranged regional seminars to allow representatives of the target audiences to discuss guideline implications.
A decision-maker at NBHW described this: Most clinical guidelines focus only on a limited part of the healthcare services, but in this case we are talking about the entire healthcare system. Discussion The two policies differed greatly regarding how evidence was used, how the policies were formulated, and the extent to which the policy phases overlapped.
