Thematic focus areas for the Symposium include:

  • global health financing and priority setting in light of the changing world political landscape
  • challenges in measuring health, longevity, consumption and equity impact
  • evaluation of interventions inside and outside the health sector
  • experiences using the FairChoices: DCP Analytics Tool in national health priority setting processes

The BCEPS International Symposium provides an arena for BCEPS to gather members of its wider network for discussions relating to ongoing work and other relevant topics.
