Department Name: Research Department
Abstract
The proposal is to establish a partnership between the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Science and the Institute of Development Studies to explore the changing relationships between government and providers of health and welfare services in China and in other countries experiencing rapid and interconnected economic, social and demographic change.
The project will support visits of British researchers to Chinese cities that are experimenting with health and welfare system reforms and participate in workshops with Chinese researchers and policy-makers to discuss lessons emerging from the Chinese experience and from the experiences of other countries. It will also support visits of Chinese researchers to the UK to collaborate with British researchers, learn lessons from the experiences of the British health and welfare system and develop collaborative links with researchers from other rapidly developing middle-income countries.
It will also support the participation of Chinese researchers in meetings with policy analysts from other countries experiencing rapid economic, social and demographic change. The main outputs will be publications in academic journals, policy briefs for decision-makers and the development of a programme of research and mutual learning on adapting health and welfare services to contexts of rapid change. The outputs of this project and the subsequent research programme will enable policy makers and policy analysts in low and middle-income countries to draw on lessons from the experiences of China and other rapidly developing countries as they address similar challenges in their health and welfare sectors.

Planned Impact
The purpose of this partnership is to encourage mutual learning between policy makers and researchers on the changing role of government in the health and welfare sectors in contexts of rapid economic and social change. Key target audiences are outlined below:
Chinese policy makers at city and national level
The Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Science (IoS) is working with the governments of several cities to test experimental approaches for providing access to basic health and welfare services. These experiments are in specific localities within the cities. The city governments have the capacity to take lessons from successful experiments to scale.
The National Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Health and Family Planning Commission are responsible for national health and welfare policies. They draw on the findings from this kind of experimental intervention in developing implementation guidelines. The members of the IoS team write regular reports to these Ministries. Also, some of them sit on a national advisory body on ageing.
The UK Department of Health and the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission have agreed to collaborate on a number of issues, including strategies for addressing the problems of an ageing population. They meet regularly to review progress. This project will support this collaboration.
Chinese researchers on health, welfare and urban sustainability
There is a substantial multi-disciplinary community of Chinese researchers working on the reform of the health and welfare sectors in a context of rapid urbanisation. The partnership will organise two workshops in Beijing for the local research and policy community. The aim is to stimulate new ways of thinking about ways to address the emerging challenges with health, welfare and sustainability. One purpose of the workshops will be to encourage the production and publication of papers to be published in both Chinese and international journals. We will reach the national research community through these papers.
Policy-makers and policy analysts in other rapidly growing middle-income countries
There is a growing interest amongst policy analysts and policy makers in the rapidly growing middle-income countries, including China, in the lessons from the experiences of other countries facing similar challenges in meeting health and welfare needs in contexts of urbanisation and rapid economic, social and demographic change. However, there are few forums for this kind of mutual learning. We will engage this community by providing opportunities for individual researchers to establish collaborative links and through the regional hubs of the STEPS Centre and the network of policy analysts to which the IDS Centre of the Rising Powers in Global Development is linked. We will produce a policy brief aimed at this target audience and will also reach them through academic publications.
Global policy-makers and researchers
We will organise a panel discussion at the conference on States and Markets in Development, planned for IDS's 50th anniversary celebrations in the summer of 2016 as a contribution to international debates on the changing role of government in health and welfare systems. The partnership will also seek out external opportunities such as the annual BRICS summit and the implementation phase in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals agenda to engage around their research findings. We will also publish journal articles and/or a book internationally.

| Description | We have analysed the ways that Chinese local governments experiment with alternative approaches to the adaptation to rapid change, focusing on the ageing of the population. We have also developed an approach to support mutual learning on the management of change in health and welfare systems between China, the UK and low and middle-income countries. We have developed our work in two directions. We have looked at how learning processes are used to support change management during China's rapid reforms within the Chinese system, including by government, research institutes, think tanks, and universities, and how new methods are being used to improve the capacity for learning and the effectiveness of policy development. We found that each of the partner cities had developed a number of innovative approaches for meeting the health and welfare needs of a rapidly ageing population. These involved new kinds of partnership with a variety of non-government organisations and innovative use of information technology. The role of the Institute of Sociology of CASS was to facilitate learning between cities about what works and why. This involved production of reports on potentially important innovations and the creation of opportunities for mutual learning between city governments. We have extended this investigation to the ways in which China and Chinese agencies are engaging in global health, the challenges of Chinese agencies working overseas and adapting China's domestic experience. We have focused on the ways in which approaches to experimentation and learning that have historically been used domestically are now being used in China's overseas development work, and how these can support better engagement and the development of partnerships for global development and health. |
| Exploitation Route | We are exploring the possibility of applying to the Prosperity Fund to support future exchanges for mutual learning between cities and research organisations in China and the UK. The findings regarding learning processes and change management have been used by the project members in consultations with multi-lateral and bilateral development agencies including WHO, UNICEF, DFID and JICA and are influencing the ways in which China's global health engagement is being managed, and ways in which development agencies work with Chinese partner agencies to support their global engagement. We produced a briefing note on mutual learning between Chinese and African Cities on the management of rapid urbanisation for the Executive Vice President of China's Centre for International Knowledge on Development. This is contributing to its planning. We secured funding for a rapid study of China's engagement in the African Centre for Disease Control and we are developing a proposal for a substantial study of China's engagement in health and health systems in Africa. |

| Description | IDS and CASS organised a meeting hosted by the Brighton and Hove City Council with participants from the Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group, Tunstall, a large private digital health company, two officials from the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission and two people from a Chinese social enterprise to explore areas of mutual learning on adapting urban health and welfare services to an ageing population. The decision was made to pursue funding to support future exchanges for mutual learning. Fang Lijie, of CASS, participated in a conference at the IDS on Accountability for Health Equity. She presented lessons from the work with the network of cities. This created an opportunity for mutual learning with civil society groups and researchers from a number of countries in low and middle-income countries. IDS staff involved in the project have given multiple presentations to representatives of UK government departments and multilateral institutions regarding China's global health engagement, with a focus on rapid experimentation and learning. These presentations have resulted in requests for publications from the project, and for follow-up discussions and consultations on China's approaches to managing change in the area of health / social services in international perspective. We were invited by the Chinese National Health Commission to organise a course on global health. Gerald Bloom was invited to be a member of a joint advisory group on UK-China AMR Research and Innovation Collaboration. During 2019 the two PIs, Wang Chenguang and Gerald Bloom participated in a major evaluation of ten years of health reform in China undertaken by the Government of China, the World Health Organisation and the World Bank. Professor Wang led a team that analysed the governance of the implementation of health reforms, focusing on the roles of central and local governments and of cross-sectoral leadership of change. Professor Bloom, provided support to the study of the reform of the organisation of health service provision and co-authored a background paper on international experience. The production of a final report was interrupted by the onset of the COVID pandemic. There is a growing interest in China and in the international community in ways to facilitate mutual learning on health system strengthening between China and other countries. Lewis Husain provided technical support to the Beijing Office of the WHO to develop a programme of work on this topic. It has the potential for substantial impact on future development of health systems in many DAC list countries. There is growing interest in China in the potential role of digital health in the development of the health sector. While in China, Gerald Bloom was asked by the WHO Country Representative to read and comment on a background paper being produced on digital health in China. These comments have been taken into account in drafting the recommendations of the evaluation described above. Lewis Husain has co-authored a paper on digital health in China. In 2020 Gerald Bloom and Lewis Husain published two papers, contributing to international debates on the role of China in global health and Lewis Husain engaged actively in debates in China through the production of policy briefs, technical reports and participation in a major international meeting. In 2021 Lewis Husain, Gerald Bloom and Xiao Yue published a paper on China's management of rapid change in its health system and they drafted a case study based on that paper for a major WHO publication on "Learning Health Systems". They are currently completing a paper for publication in a special issue of BMJ Global Health on learning health systems. Since the project's inception, there have been major changes in global geopolitics. Lewis Husain has been involved in a number of activities aimed at identifying options for engaging with China on global health issues in this changing context. He worked with Wilton Park to organise a consultation on UK collaboration with China on issues of global development, including health. The meeting involved senior officials from FCDO. In 2022 he provided expert advice to the European Union and participated in a discussion of this issue in the Cabinet Office. He has been engaged to support the UK Embassy in exploring options for cooperation on addressing AMR. |
