Policy Engagement and Communications (PEC)

This program ensures contextual, relevant, and localized knowledge drives change

The Policy Engagement and Communications (PEC) program is centered on building relationships with local, national, regional, and global stakeholders to provide evidence to shape policies and influence decision-making that promotes sustainable development in Africa. Our work encompasses engagement with government and non-government entities, academic, advocacy, research institutions, civil society organizations, and communities to ensure contextual, relevant, and localized knowledge drives change. Policy engagement ensures that the perspectives and concerns of all relevant parties are considered in decision-making.

Sustained policy impact can only be transformative when it also leads to changed systems, investments, programs and behaviors. The Center is driving efforts to create an inspiring, inclusive and diverse culture of public engagement.

Synergy

A new systematic approach to knowledge management, with intuitive and routine mechanisms for tracking and analytics of all products is fully implemented. We are broadening our knowledge management portfolio to include learning.

Visibility

The Center pursues innovative ways to collaborate and lead the way as a thought leader in the Research and Development ecosystem. We tell the compelling stories behind our research to transform lives in Africa and amplify evidence-based decision-making.
