The speakers shared on:

  • Stories of institutionalization of evidence-use in organizations from Africa, and
  • About replicable processes on strategies for increasing the use of evidence for decision-making in Africa stories of success and/or failure in explaining the institutionalisation of evidence-use in organisations.
