The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) and the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA) will hold their 12th annual Africa Evidence Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from July 10-11, 2024. This year, the Summit will be hosted in partnership with our partner, African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC). We are also thrilled to partner with the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), the Mawazo Institute, Twaweza, and the Global Poverty Research Lab (GPRL) to host this event.
Please see the agenda for full session and speaker details.
The summit is an annual in-person gathering that brings together East and West African scholars (including CEGA fellows), U.S.-based faculty, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss the latest research findings on economic development and poverty alleviation in East and West Africa. The summit also promotes discussion on new ways to integrate evidence into decision-making, elevate African scholars’ voices, and engage stakeholders in the process.
This year, we are happy to present the findings of the Collaboration for Inclusive Development Research’s (CIDR) study on barriers and opportunities for African scholars in higher education, training/mentorship, publication and co-authorship, and policy impact.
We have also invited researchers and organizations to present a poster in two different categories:

NIERA’s mission is to advance decision-focused impact evaluation of development programs through capacity building, evidence generation and policy outreach.
The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is a premier research-to-policy institution, generating evidence, strengthening research and related capacity in the African research and development ecosystem, and engaging policy to inform action on health and development. The Center is Africa-based and African-led, with its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, and a West Africa Regional Office (WARO), in Dakar, Senegal. APHRC seeks to drive change by developing strong African research leadership and promoting evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) across sub-Saharan Africa.
