ADVOCACY

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, transforming our research and learning through genuine dialogue with defined local and global communities.

We inform and influence policy discussions and decision-making, by identifying and nurturing champions in and out of government, with the ultimate goal of promoting greater interest in the use and generation of evidence for policies and programs.

OVERVIEW

PEC has developed three ways to use research evidence to inform and influence policy discussions and decision-making, to identify and nurture champions in and out of government, with the ultimate goal of driving more resources toward interventions that work:

  • The More and Better approach: to encourage wider implementation of what already exists by broadening collaboration.
  • The Revise for Responsiveness approach: to encourage responsiveness to changing contexts and unmet needs.
  • The Initiate for Impact approach: to encourage the formulation and implementation of new policies to meet emerging needs due to evolving contexts.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched in late 2015 provide clear guidelines and targets for addressing the root causes of poverty and uniting the world in pursuit of positive change for both people and planet. Strongly grounded in international human rights standards, the SDGs aim for an inclusive world and put economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights and the right to development at the core of social progress.
