“Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion”- African proverb shared by @RuthS3 of @Africa_evidence. To transform evidence for policy, we need to be more inclusive of other ways of knowing & sources of knowledge. Think diversity, local evidence, Indigenous knowledge
@RuthS3@Africa_evidence#LivingEvidence has the potential to be a game changer for those of us working to synthesise environmental & climate change evidence for better outcomes, especially for #LMICs. Looking forward to learning how Alive can support us. @EnvEvidence@IDCG_Campbell@UNDP @CochraneAfrica
Some weekend reading to wet your appetite for #Evidence2023. ‘How can we produce better evidence to inform better decisions for better outcomes?’ (Hint - it’s all about combining living and local evidence). @jhjelliott@EvidenceComm@Africa_evidence
