In this edition, we feature Amanda Deuchars on Ghana’s inaugural Evaluation Week in Accra, a milestone in advancing evidence-based governance through integrated data systems, digital innovation, and inclusive partnerships.

We also highlight Education.org’s work on strengthening transitions for learners across Africa, showing how the STEP Framework equips policymakers to tackle dropout risks, support re-entry, and improve retention through collaboration, gender-responsive planning, and stronger data systems.

In this month’s blog post, you will learn how the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Global Safety Evidence Centre is dedicated to improving safety worldwide by generating, translating, and utilising evidence, with a strong emphasis on empowering local voices in Africa to address safety challenges and build resilience.

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