Building partnerships in the field of evidence-based public policy still faces several challenges. The stigma attached to the private sector, NGOs, and the government is often the subject of discussion without a solution. CCPHI regularly holds Research and Business Forums to eliminate stigma and facilitate communication bridges between sectors. Through the Research and Business Forum which is open to the public, participants who attend are expected to open up knowledge horizons as well as open new opportunities to build partnerships in the field of policy making.

CCPHI documents each discussion into a series of knowledge stories that can be downloaded as learning materials for organizations wishing to partner.
