Abstract: Background: Social innovation in health refers to the community-engaged process that connects health improvement and social change. The aim of this study was to develop a consensus statement on core learning competencies in social innovation in health and pilot them as part of a participatory training workshop. Methods and findings: A modified Delphi Process aggregating data from a scoping review, global open call, and participatory process was organized. Participants were recruited from low, middle, and high-income countries with a range of social innovation experiences. Statements focused on social innovation in health core competencies for learning. Consensus was determined using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness method. Conclusion: The results from this study will inform the development of a WHO/TDR conceptual framework which will have implications for training program design and policy.
