Our iwn partners @ACE_UJ have been making this case at #Evidence2022...
And at every conference in the past for more inclusive, relevant & reliable evidence to inform policy. For our needs in Government esp.
The demand is growing!
Can it be met in a timely and rigorous manner?

Earlier today (and for the first time in-person!), I presented in #HSR2022 the Living hub of #Covid_19 knowledge hubs, an initiative that we worked together with @ndukup1 and @Laurenz_ml as a @McMasterForum and @ACE_UJ partnership as part of @COVID_E_N_D

NEW BLOG:
In their latest blog @esmackillop & James Downe look at how we can better understand organisations that provide evidence for policy, adopting an intercontinental approach focusing on the Africa Centre for Evidence, the Mowat Centre & the WCPP: wcpp.org.uk/commentary/under…
ALT Image of a lightbulb, with the following text: Knowledge Brokering Organisations - KBOs have emerged in the evidence-policy space as new organisations aiming to mobilise – ‘broker’ – evidence from research and knowledge into policy. There are three main characteristics which set KBOs apart from other organisations: 1. Evidence is central to their work, mission and practices. 2. Their specific structures, relationships and practices: e.g. staff with multiple/boundary spanning background, knowledge brokering tools. 3. Their closeness to government, – KBOs often being funded by government.

In Miami for an evidence meeting. Knowing how many have lost so much in Florida this week, I’m donating to a local charity, because these are the values of @ACE_UJ and @Africa_evidence #strongertogether Hurricane Ian - Hospice Employee Recovery Fund
