  abstract = {{B}ackground {E}pistemic injustices are increasingly decried in global health. {T}his study aims to investigate whether the source of knowledge influences the perception of that knowledge and the willingness to use it in francophone {A}frican health policy-making context. {M}ethods {T}he study followed a randomized experimental design in which participants were randomly assigned to one of seven policy briefs that were designed with the same scientific content but with different organizations presented as authors. {E}ach organization was representative of financial, scientific or moral authority. {F}or each type of authority, two organizations were proposed: one {N}orth {A}merican or {E}uropean, and the other {A}frican. {R}esults {T}he initial models showed that there was no significant association between the type of authority or the location of the authoring organization and the two outcomes (perceived quality and reported instrumental use). {S}tratified analyses highlighted that policy briefs signed by the {A}frican donor organization (financial authority) were perceived to be of higher quality than policy briefs signed by the {N}orth {A}merican/{E}uropean donor organization. {F}or both perceived quality and reported instrumental use, these analyses found that policy briefs signed by the {A}frican university (scientific authority) were associated with lower scores than policy briefs signed by the {N}orth {A}merican/{E}uropean university. {C}onclusions {T}he results confirm the significant influence of sources on perceived global health knowledge and the intersectionality of sources of influence. {T}his analysis allows us to learn more about organizations in global health leadership, and to reflect on the implications for knowledge translation practices.},
