A new FIP resource for evidence-based advocacy and policy engagement, the FIP Impact Database, is launched today on World Health Day. The database collates, summarises, categorises and provides analyses of FIP outputs that support the federation’s vision and mission. It also includes main areas of work, challenges, opportunities and best practices of FIP member organisations over the past decade related to improving global health through influencing practice.

The resource, hosted by the FIP Global Pharmaceutical Observatory (GPO), is currently in its testing phase. FIP is inviting its members to provide feedback here. “The database will continue to evolve into a sustainable, dynamic resource for policymakers and leaders. I invite you to explore [it] and see for yourself the wealth of information available to you and the pharmacy profession,” said FIP’s GPO director Prof. Ian Bates.
