2024 Africa Evidence Summit
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. We are delighted to partner with the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), the Mawazo Institute, Twaweza, and the Global Poverty Research Lab (GPRL) to host this event. The announcement of the agenda will follow shortly.
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 also invite researchers and organizations to present a poster in two different categories:
1. Researchers: Researchers are welcome to submit an abstract for a poster showcasing early-stage research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) or to disseminate policy-relevant research findings from completed studies. We prefer studies that use impact evaluation studies.
2. Programs: We welcome organizations to showcase their work in advancing evidence-informed policy in SSA. This is also an opportunity for organizations to highlight capacity-strengthening initiatives (and relevant learnings for the community) and to publicize upcoming opportunities for African scholars.
Please submit your poster proposal by May 3, 2024 (extended from April 20th).
