However, the complexity of decision making across sectors was felt by some to constrain the ability to address health inequalities.
Using its Health System Strategy Map, the Ontario Scorecard links measures, strategies, goals and outcomes, thereby enhancing accountability and assisting empirically sound evidence-based decision making across multiple sectors of the system [ 4, 12, 24].
As the fundamental drivers of the hydrological cycle are affected by increasing climate variability and climate change, the need for climate information for effective decision making in the water sector is crucial.
The project focused on health sector decision making at district, hospital, and first line facility level.
However, this level of investment in economic evaluation should be supported by the use of these studies in health sector decision making.
A better understanding of the use and methodology of economic evaluation might help to enhance the translation of knowledge generated by economic evaluations in health sector decision making in Bangladesh.
Hence, while a standard definition of 'marginal' land does not exist, within the context of bioenergy production, the approach of considering agricultural land grades 3 5 as appropriate for bioenergy crops (Lovett et al., 2014) highlights the need to understand farm decision making within the livestock sector.
Based on this work, we offer conclusions about these tools′ current 'readiness' for widespread application within both public- and private-sector decision making processes.
In this study, we describe 17 ecosystem services tools and rate their performance against eight evaluative criteria that gauge their readiness for widespread application in public- and private-sector decision making.
VSNW plays a key role in ensuring the involvement and engagement of the voluntary and community sector in regional decision making bodies and ensuring the voice of the sector in the NW is heard nationally.
