Evidence-to-Policy Partnerships | Anne Healy, Sasha Gallant, Amanda Glassman | EAG DC 22

A growing number of research organizations like IDinsight, IPA, J-PAL, and many local and regional research groups have found that long-term partnerships with governments lay a powerful foundation for generating highly policy relevant evidence; catalyzing adoption at scale of evidence-based interventions; and building government demand and interest in using evidence and data. A recent Center for Global Development (CGD) working group highlighted the importance of these partnerships—and robust funding to support them—to ensure that policymakers realize the full potential of research and evidence to improve lives and wellbeing. But limited flexible, long-term support holds them back. In this session, speakers discuss specific case studies that demonstrate the potential high returns on investments in evidence-to-policy partnerships.
