The Evidence-Based Policy in Development Network
The objective of this initiative is to ensure development policy is more pro-poor by enabling Southern Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to effectively utilize research-based evidence in influencing policy establishment. This Phase 3 plan aims to strengthen partnerships, enhance capacity development, and integrate insights from diverse stakeholders, including national and global networks. The focus will also be on addressing capacity issues, fostering collaboration, and exploring funding opportunities to sustain impactful research and advocacy projects.
