Key Facts
This five year programme aims to enable Civil Society Organisations, Media, and Elected Representatives in seven African countries to understand and support the use of evidence-based approaches to shape policies and practices that meet and engage the interests of citizens. The expected outcomes include: - Increased opportunities for constructive networking and dialogue; increased awareness of and skills in using various tools and techniques in evidence-based policies and citizen engagement practices; piloting, characterisation and promotion of innovative ideas and practices in use of evidence based approaches and social accountability tools; and promotion of models of good practice within communities of practice to ensure their sustained and widespread availability. CIVICUS and Inter Press Service (Africa Regional Office) provide technical support in addition to expert inputs from within the target countries. It also benefits from inputs from Africa’s experienced regional governance players, especially the UN Economic Commission for Africa.
