ALNAP will present a global main report for the sixth SOHS edition, summarising the findings of the size and shape of the system, and its performance against key policy questions linked to the OECD criteria. The research will also produce shorter country specific reports from the in-country research. The main global report will be published in English alongside a summary, which will be translated into key languages.
The co-authors will take an iterative approach to analysing and drafting the final report by dividing out key chapters and thematic issues to focus upon early in the process. They will produce initial outlines of chapters during the inception phase that highlight key questions and data-points required to effectively address the respective relevant policy question for each chapter. This process will support the refinement of the study matrix to enable more proactive gathering of data across the components and particularly in specific KIIs and literature reviews that can be conducted by the co-authors rather than waiting for the data to flow in from the other research components at a later time. Key phases in the production of the report are outlined below.
