Methodology Review

Ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders ensures that the Access to Medicine Index will continue to reflect broad expertise and expectations in the future. Each year, stakeholders will be invited to provide insights and comments. The review will be carried out under the auspices of an Expert Review Committee.

Feedback from access to medicine stakeholders was received through three consultation phases, after the publication of Index I in 2008. In the first phase we gathered the views of the stakeholders about the Index Methodology with the help of an online questionnaire. The second phase comprised of stakeholder roundtables in Washington D.C. and London UK, and several other stakeholder workshops and meetings including a workshop the Index Countries in Nairobi. The third phase involved a methodology update guided by the stakeholder feedbacks, in consultation with the Expert Review Committee.
