The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) and the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA) will hold their 12th annual Africa Evidence Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from July 10-11, 2024. We are delighted to partner with the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), the Mawazo Institute, and the Global Poverty Research Lab (GPRL) to host this event. The announcement of additional partners and a full agenda will follow shortly.

The summit is an annual in-person gathering that brings together East and West African scholars (including CEGA fellows), U.S.-based faculty, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss the latest research findings on economic development and poverty alleviation in sub-Saharan Africa. The summit also promotes discussion on new ways to integrate evidence into decision-making, elevate African scholars’ voices, and engage stakeholders in the process.

This year, the findings of the Collaboration for Inclusive Development Research’s (CIDR) study on barriers and opportunities for African scholars in higher education, training/mentorship, publication and co-authorship, and policy impact will be presented.
