Science EN ↓ 15 episodes

Great strides have been made in Africa to advance Evidence-Informed Decision Making and Implementation (EIDM/I) in government and other sectors. This ranges from efforts made to capacitate decision-makers, to the institutionalisation of EIDM within the policy-making cycle. The aim of this podcast, therefore, is to cast a light on the African evidence ecosystem, with a specific focus on the history, progress, pitfalls, and the future.
