- Do proven, effective strategies exist to implement the recommendations with available resources?
Minimum Criteria for Selecting Strategies for a Recommendation
- Are there sufficient data and evidence to define the extent of the problem, or evidence of efficacy or effectiveness, or does the strategy help address gaps in scientific knowledge?
- Are there some strategies that give guidance at the national level?
- Can some of the strategies be accomplished early on, with positive short-term outputs within 1-2 years?
- Are the strategies measurable, with evidence that they can be achieved?
- Are the strategies feasible to implement with limited resources?
