In this edition, we feature Andrea Elanga’s reflections on the AEN Manifesto’s pivotal role in advancing evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) across Africa, offering valuable insights into its impact and potential.

You will also enjoy reading about a partnership between the International Centre for Evaluation and Development and the American Institutes for Research to drive evidence-based initiatives in Africa, focusing on local ownership and community solutions.

This month’s featured blog posts highlight reflections from this year’s Africa Evidence Leadership Award winners on their contributions to EIDM in Africa.

We also keep you abreast of the latest EIDM opportunities, academic journal articles, and upcoming evidence events.

We welcome and encourage your contributions to the AEN newsletter and blog! To share your work or interesting stories from your country or organisation on either of these platforms, send an email toinfo@africaevidencenetwork.org.
