I always enjoy a good #paneldiscussion - @JeremyFarrar is facilitating the discussion w/ different representatives from donor organizations to discuss ‘Funding evidence-informed policy initiatives’

#E2PSummit2023 #funding #research #donors

[Chris Chibwana @cchibwana]

Why is evidence-informed decision-making usually an “extra” in projects and not the main funding focus? Join me and other funders as we discuss funders' perspectives, priorities, and expectations, and how we can bridge the evidence to policy gap: https://t.co/8rxiKObjV3

@DinaPomeranz @Oxford_CSAE @Makerere So many African countries that won’t discriminate attendees on the basis of their birthplace or the country that issued their passport.

[Transfer Project @TransferProjct]

@ChristianaGbed @UNICEFGhana .@cchibwana [@Hewlett_Found] hits home the importance of *trust* in using evidence for policy

Trust = [credibility + reliability + intimacy]/[self-orientation]

😀 yes ~ all of the ## crunchers in the room are appreciating this equation!

[Chris Chibwana @cchibwana]

@carsonamelia7 reminded me of our brief discussion yesterday around academic incentives

[Chris Chibwana @cchibwana]

It’s possible to conduct research that satisfies both private/researcher and public interests. The starting point should be the policy question and not the methods. @maya_ranganath @CEGA_UC

.@ashudirect: "@TransferProjct conducts mixed-method policy driven & inclusive research ~ responding to govt needs"

No 🚁 research! #TPNairobi23
