The EPA Center of Excellence: A Catalytic and Innovative Intervention for Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIP) in Francophone Africa
Blog post
In this blog post, Ariel Hardy Houessou, a knowledge translation specialist at ACED shares about the EPA Center of Excellence, which is a joint initiative by the African Center for Equitable Development (ACED) and the Agricultural and Rural Prospective Initiative (IPAR). He mentions that it is a unique framework aimed at bridging the gap between research, policies, and action in Francophone Africa. The approach used to better ground its intervention relies on mapping the ecosystems of each country, which is useful to better understand the actors, their relationships, their needs (in capacity building, evidence mobilisation, and valorisation), and the best practices promoting evidence-informed policies (EIP). Country notes and other outputs will guide the Center of Excellence to, among other things, fill identified gaps, document (for sharing purposes) best practices in EIP, establish country Communities of Practice (CoPs), and inform the community of actors interested in Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIP) in Francophone West Africa.
