What Does it Mean to Take a “Leave No One Behind” Approach to Community Engagement and Involvement in Global Health Research?
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: In this last publication for the 2020-2021 \nIDS/NIHR Community Engagement and \nInvolvement learning series, we discuss what \nit means to take a CEI approach that \nprioritises ‘leaving no one behind’. As with \nother resources developed in this series, this \ntext builds on a series of conversations \nbetween the lead author and a group of Low \nand Middle Income Country-based experts \nwho bring a depth of experience and critical \ninsights to current debates on what \nconstitutes CEI good practice. The intention of \nthe series as a whole has been to encourage \nfunding applicants to ask themselves hard \nquestions about inclusivity, power and bias as \nthey embark on the initial thinking and design \nof the CEI component of a given proposal. \nHere we take on the existing rhetoric of \n‘leaving no one behind’ in global health \nresearch and how it is sometimes \nmisinterpreted as a demographic tick-box \nexercise. We ask instead: what is getting left \nbehind in global health research, why is \n‘leaving behind’ a phenomena of \ncontemporary development and global health \nprocesses, and how can these issues \nbe addressed through a CEI approach, albeit \nwith limitations?
