This month, we’re featuring the International Center for Evaluation and Development (ICED), which received an award for its partnership with Somalia’s Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development (MoPIED) to enhance evaluation, evidence generation, and informed decision-making capacities.
We also feature the Alive Learning Forum webinar, which highlighted AI’s potential in living evidence systems, emphasising the importance of data quality, collaboration, and ethical governance in leveraging AI to address climate and health challenges.
This month’s blog post examines the Utafiti Sera initiative’s efforts to promote evidence-informed policymaking in Africa, highlighting successes in countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, and Zambia, and emphasising the importance of co-creating evidence and understanding policy cultures to drive inclusive policy decisions.
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 to info@africaevidencenetwork.org.
