In June 2021, INASP launched a call for empowering Southern researchers and evidence professionals through an AI-enabled social learning platform....
For research breakthroughs to make a difference to people’s lives they need to be discovered and used. For many years INASP has developed expertise in supporting researchers in communicating their research and in supporting policymakers to use research and evidence. In this post, Emily Hayter and Andy Nobes discuss what INASP has learnt about good approaches to bridging that gap.
In this post, Emily Hayter, Leandro Echt and Clara Richards share reflections from two evidence diagnostic exercises (one in Pakistan and the other in Uganda) undertaken as part of the Strengthening Evidence Use for Development Impact (SEDI) programme.
Undertaking a political economy analysis of focus countries and sectors is a common practice in development projects. But our aim in the Strengthening the use of Evidence for Development Impact (SEDI) programme was to add a further layer of insight by asking: what is the space for change in the actual organisations we will work with?
Global thought leaders in evidence-informed policy recently came together to discuss the most significant lessons learnt about capacity development for evidence use, as well as how the sector needs to evolve to in order to adapt more effectively to a different set of global challenges. Emily Hayter shares some key themes.
Working in partnership with country governments, the SEDI programme aims to develop capacity and promote innovation in increasing evidence-informed decision making in Uganda, Ghana and Pakistan. Emily Hayter discusses the capacity development principles that underpin the way this programme operates.
