The Data to Policy (D2P) program, developed by Vital Strategies and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aims to bridge the data-policy gap in public health policy. Investments in data collection and health information systems in low and middle-income countries have greatly increased the data available to inform policymaking. But turning these data into actionable evidence requires organizational capacity for policy analysis. D2P guides participants through the development of data-driven policy briefs and recommendations that respond to government health priorities. The program imparts analytical skills – including root cause analysis and health and economic impact assessments – as well as techniques for communicating with stakeholders using data.
