EVIDENCE 2022 is happening from 19-21 September!
The Africa Evidence Network is proud to announce that EVIDENCE 2022 is happening from 19-21 September 2022. This event is a working meeting on the use of evidence in decision-making in Africa. This year the aim of this event series is to celebrate ten years since the establishment of the Africa Evidence Network and provide an opportunity for collaboration to enhance mutual learning and the development of new ideas about supporting evidence-informed decision-making. With this two-part objective, the theme for EVIDENCE 2022 is coming together for mutual learning and innovation in evidence-informed decision-making. Here you can get more information on the event and review the concept note (https://bit.ly/3EI5etk) for that event, and feel free to contact the secretariat via ace@uj.ac.za.
