Africa Evidence Week 2021 concept note

The first Africa Evidence Week (AfEW) took place in 2019 and saw over 202 AEN members and their organisations participating through the hosting of events, webinars, Twitter chats, writing of blogs, and sharing of video content. This year, the AEN is hosting its second virtual AfEW and is sharing this concept note to encourage members to participate in this incredible showcase and promotion of Africa’s vibrant EIDM ecosystem. This year’s objective is to showcase and promote the state of EIDM on the continent, specifically highlighting the involvement of Africa’s decision-makers. This virtual week-long celebration of African EIDM and the decision-makers who make it possible will be a fully virtual collection of digital content shared from across Africa. The date for AfEW 2021 is 13-17 September 2021. To participate in AfEW 2021 or to find out more information, please email the AEN secretariat at ace@uj.ac.za.
