During Day 2 of #IDSAT60, @IEAKwame participated in a panel discussion on “Influence of the Prevailing Development Discourse in Africa – Using Data as Evidence for Development Policy.”
@IDS_UONBI @HumanitiesUoN @WanjaMDouglas
Happening now at #IDSAt60: Panel on using data for development policy.
Prof. Boniface Dulani highlights @afrobarometer policy impact: “Africa’s democracy crisis isn’t about demand, it’s about supply. Citizens value #democracy but are frustrated by its performance.” #WeAreUoN
Both Qualitative and Quantitative data is necessary for development policy.
There are sources of data available @afrobarometer is one of the sources of data that has been collected by Africans in Africa for use in decision-making

Thought- provoking discourse and reactions from the audience at the #IDSat60 event.
' Data doesn't make policy, people do!Scientific evidence can dispute sound evidence, .So we shouldn't rely only on data to make policies
#Health for instance, gets a lot of funding and support to mine data and have evidence. This means there is no one place where one can get the status / access data on health in Kenya for instance. We need a lot more data collection. '

Close to Day 1 of #IDSAt60!
From the keynote on rethinking #DevelopmentStudies to bold discussions on decolonising #research & #governance, today reminded us why #evidence & reflection matter.
See you tomorrow for Day 2: https://t.co/4f4TN5h1YC #IDSResearchAgenda
Prof. Winnie Mitullah (@MitullahWinnie), a research professor at @IDS_UONBI, affirms that development work must continually evolve. Institutions like @IDS_UONBI should continue to shape better policies for Africa’s future.

Prof. Sam Hickey, University of Manchester, reminds us at #IDSat60 that actual #development demands both evidence and values, a vision for what should be, not just what exists.
