2023 Africa Evidence Summit

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) will hold its 11th annual Africa Evidence Summit in Nairobi, Kenya on June 19-20, 2023.  The summit is an annual gathering that brings together East and West African scholars, U.S.-based faculty, policymakers, and practitioners in Nairobi, Kenya to discuss the latest research findings on economic development and poverty alleviation on the continent. The summit also promotes discussion on new ways to integrate evidence into decision-making and elevate African scholars' voices. We are delighted to partner with the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA) to host this event.

CEGA’s Global Networks program launched in 2011 with the East Africa Social Science Translation (EASST) Collaborative. EASST has built a robust network of leading East African scholars conducting rigorous impact evaluations of social programs in the region and has strived to increase the use of high-quality evidence in the design of social policies and programs throughout East Africa. In recent years, we have expanded to include West African scholars through the Development Impact West Africa (DIWA) program.
