ACRES maintains an updated and living curation of digital tools that improve the effectiveness and efficiency of evidence-to-policy methods. The Living EIDM ToolMap is an open-access web-based application that maps Artificial Intelligence and automated tools and their access either on mobile or pc desktops, and adaptation at the different stages involved in a policymaker’s journey to acquire, analyse, and adapt scientific evidence for urgent decision-making. In mapping these tools, the map highlights strengths and weaknesses related to access, such as internet requirements, costs (pay-per-access), and inclusion of gender data. Lastly, the Living ToolMap will be an essential resource to highlight gaps in the available digital tools, technology used, and opportunities to leverage them and integrate them into evidence-to-policy pathways.

ACRES uses the Living EIDM ToolMap to inform the development, piloting, and integration of the latest digital tools, including Artificial Intelligence, in the evidence-to-policy pathways.
