Message from the Executive Director

Undoubtedly, the slow progress many African countries are making towards achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda has been further dented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing economic crisis.

At AFIDEP, we believe that consistent use of evidence in formulating and implementing public policies and programmes is critical for putting countries back on track and accelerating progress towards the 2030 agenda.

This report shares examples of how we have walked the talk towards realising our vision of having an Africa where evidence is used consistently to transform lives.

Over the past year, we reinforced our work in institutionalising evidence use in the public sector. For example, our work in strengthening institutional systems, structures and mechanisms to promote and support an evidence-use culture in ministries of health in Kenya, Malawi and Uganda provided essential lessons on embedding evidence-use in technical working groups.
