Description
Using Evidence in Policy and Practice: Lessons from Africa This book explores how governments in Africa can use evidence to improve their policies and programmes, ultimately leading to positive change for citizens. It brings together policy makers and researchers to uncover what works and why, using case studies from five countries and the ECOWAS region across various sectors. The book draws on a range of evidence sources, including evaluations, research synthesis, and citizen engagement, to show how these cases informed policy and practice. The voices of policy makers are central to the book, ensuring that the examples are useful for practitioners and researchers alike. Suitable for policy makers, government practitioners, civil society professionals, and researchers interested in using evidence to support policy making in Africa, this innovative book provides practical and critically rigorous insights into how evidence can be used to drive positive change.
