The Global Evidence Commission began as a grassroots effort to improve the use of research evidence, both in routine times and in future global crises. This second annual update is focussed on three implementation priorities:

1. Formalise and strengthen domestic evidence-support systems
2. Enhance and leverage the global evidence architecture
3. Put evidence at the centre of everyday life

The Global Evidence Commission’s secretariat and Implementation Council also welcome expressions of interest from any groups interested in complementing what they are doing – with the three implementation priorities, with recommendations that do not fall within these current priorities, or with formally monitoring progress against each recommendation.
