西非卫生组织意识到项目指导委员会在影响循证卫生政策的制定方面的优势，鼓励并支持围绕四个国家（布基纳法索、尼日利亚、塞内加尔和塞拉利昂）的四个研究项目建立这种指导委员会。这项研究的目的是描述建立这些委员会的过程，研究结果旨在协助其他利益攸关方启动这类过程。这是对该倡议的四个项目的一项横向定性研究。除了文献审查和项目文件审查外，还使用了访谈指南，从常设委员会、研究小组、世界卫生组织和国际发展研究中心的14名成员那里收集数据。选择答复者是为了达到数据饱和。通过简单分类的主题分析的技术被使用。为了建立SC，每个国家的一个研究小组与卫生当局合作，确定潜在的成员，组织与这些成员的会议，并寻求当局批准正式成立SC。指导委员会的使命是在执行阶段向研究人员提供技术援助，并促进研究结果的转让和使用。每个研究小组采用的“边学边做”的方法，加上世界卫生组织对各国卫生部的促进作用，帮助每个SC管理其背景困难并有效运作。技术和财政合作伙伴的参与激励了研究人员和卫生部，而他们反过来又激励了其他行为者自愿参加在册种姓。“边学边做”的方法使得有可能制定适合每一种情况的战略，以创建、促进和运作每一个供应链，并管理其困难。为了复制这种经验，需要对当地情况有深刻的了解，并需要强有力的伙伴的参与。
Aware of the advantages of a project steering committee (SC) in terms of influencing the development of evidence-based health policies, the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) encouraged and supported the creation of such SCs around four research projects in four countries (Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone). This study was conducted to describe the process that was used to establish these committees and its findings aim to assist other stakeholders in initiating this type of process. This is a cross-sectional, qualitative study of the initiative’s four projects. In addition to a literature review and a review of the project documents, an interview guide was used to collect data from 14 members of the SCs, research teams, WAHO and the International Development Research Center. The respondents were selected with a view to reaching data saturation. The technique of thematic analysis by simple categorisation was used. To set up the SCs, a research team in each country worked with health authorities to identify potential members, organise meetings with these members and sought the authorities’ approval to formalise the SCs. The SCs’ mission was to provide technical assistance to the researchers during the implementation phase and to facilitate the transfer and use of the findings. The ‘doing by learning’ approach used by each research team, combined with WAHO’s catalytic role with each country’s Ministry of Health, helped each SC manage its contextual difficulties and function effectively. The involvement of technical and financial partners motivated the researchers and ministries of health, who, in turn, motivated other actors to volunteer on the SCs. The ‘doing by learning’ approach made it possible to develop strategies adapted to each context to create, facilitate and operate each SC and manage its difficulties. To reproduce such an experience, a strong understanding of the local context and the involvement of strong partners are required.
