■探索影响WANEL出现的历史和当代因素和过程,并分析形成过程如何影响网络的持续存在和可持续性以及次区域卫生政策和系统研究的教训(HPSR)在低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)网络。
■定性解释性案例研究,使用过程跟踪来绘制WANEL的形成和发展图。
■数据是通过文件审查获得的,半结构化面试,小组讨论,参与者观察。使用主题内容分析对数据进行分析。
■WANEL的出现是由几个因素促成的,包括来自西非高级HPSR冠军和机构网络的支持;来自加拿大IDRC的持续资金,在支持低收入国家研究能力发展方面有良好记录的知名资助者;CHEPSAA新兴领导人和安特卫普热带医学研究所为全球卫生倡议提供的学习和交流机会。它的形成遵循了紧急和工程过程的混合。
WANEL是西非第一个也是目前唯一的职业早期和中期卫生政策和系统研究人员和从业人员的次区域网络。为了确保其长期可持续性,网络需要建立机制,不断吸引和发展下一代早中期研究人员,与高级研究人员保持联系,加强协调和协调能力,并为其长期财务可持续性制定计划。

UNASSIGNED: To explore historical and contemporary factors and processes that influenced the emergence of WANEL and analyse how the formation process has influenced the network\'s continued existence and sustainability and lesson for sub-regional health policy and systems research (HPSR) networking in Low -and -Middle -Income Countries (LMICs).
UNASSIGNED: Qualitative explanatory case study which used process tracing to chart the formation and development of WANEL.
UNASSIGNED: Data was obtained through document reviews, semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and participant observation. Data was analysed using thematic content analysis.
UNASSIGNED: The emergence of WANEL was made possible by several factors, including support from a network of senior HPSR champions and institutions across West Africa; sustained funding from IDRC Canada, a reputable funder with a track record in supporting research capacity development in LMICs; learning and networking opportunities provided by CHEPSAA Emerging Leaders and the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp Emerging Voices for Global Health initiative. Its formation followed a mix of emergent and engineered processes.
UNASSIGNED: WANEL is the first and currently the only sub-regional network for early and mid-career health policy and systems researchers and practitioners in West Africa. To ensure its long-term sustainability, the network needs to put in place mechanisms to constantly attract and develop the next generation of early and mid-career researchers, maintain links with senior researchers, strengthen its capacity for coordination and facilitation, and develop a plan for its long-term financial sustainability.
UNASSIGNED: The study is funded by IDRC Canada Project 108237-001: Popularly known as the Consortium for Mothers, Newborn, Children, Adolescents and Health Policy and Systems strengthening in West and Central Africa. (COM-CAHPSS).
