What it is all about

Evidence-Informed Policy making has become a hot topic in international development. This has resulted in a lot of activity focussed on supporting communication of research outputs, for example in the form of briefings for policy makers. However, such outputs will only have impact if they are accessed and used. It is therefore crucial to build the demand for research information from policy makers. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand both the incentives which drive policy makers to look for research information and their capacity to find and evaluate it.

This conference will bring together researchers with an interest in the use of evidence in policy making and decision makers from policy making institutions.
