  abstract = {{I}ntroduction - {H}ealth system governance is the cornerstone of performant, equitable and sustainable health systems aiming towards universal health coverage. {G}lobal health actors have increasingly been using policy dialogue ({PD}) as a governance tool to engage with both state and non-state stakeholders. {D}espite attempts to frame {PD} practices, it remains a catch-all term for both health systems professionals and researchers. {M}ethod - {W}e conducted a scoping study on {PD}. {W}e identified 25 articles published in {E}nglish between 1985 and 2017 and 10 grey literature publications. {T}he analysis was guided by the following questions : (1) {H}ow do the authors define {PD} ? (2) {W}hat do we learn about {PD} practices and implementation factors ? (3) {W}hat are the specificities of {PD} in low-income and middle-income countries ? {R}esults - {T}he analysis highlighted three definitions of policy dialogue : a knowledge exchange and translation platform, a mode of governance and an instrument for negotiating international development aid. {S}uccess factors include the participants' continued and sustained engagement throughout all the relevant stages, their ability to make a constructive contribution to the discussions while being truly representative of their organisation and their high interest and stake in the subject. {P}rerequisites to ensuring that participants remained engaged were a clear process, a shared understanding of the goals at all levels of the {PD} and a {PD} approach consistent with the {PD} objective. {I}n the context of development aid, the main challenges lie in the balance of power between stakeholders, the organisational or technical capacity of recipient country stakeholders to drive or contribute effectively to the {PD} processes and the increasingly technocratic nature of {PD}. {C}onclusion - {PD} requires a high level of collaborative governance expertise and needs constant, although not necessarily high, financial support. {T}hese conditions are crucial to make it a real driver of health system reform in countries' paths towards universal health coverage.},
