The Evidence to Policy Training Programme is developed to cultivate all aspects of Evidence Informed Decision Making (EIDM), including technical expertise, cultural competences and collaborative skills. It is designed to transform the global EIDM landscape, ultimately creating a new generation of empowered leaders in evidence informed policymaking to address the most pressing global challenges and foster sustainable development.
The Programme curriculum is designed to address pressing EIDM challenges, providing participants with practical skills applicable to real-world scenarios and make an immediate impact in their work. Through interactive exercises and case studies, the Programme develops participants’ critical thinking and analytical abilities, empowering them to tackle complex problems.
