The CEGA Global Workshop is a bi-weekly virtual forum that brings together researchers from the CEGA affiliate network, as well as our partner networks throughout the Global South (the East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative, the BRAC-CEGA Learning Collaborative, the Working Group in African Political Economy and Development Impact West Africa), to share early-stage work, provide constructive feedback to peers, and build research relationships. The workshop features work from diverse disciplines related to development, including economics, political science, data science, public health and psychology.
