The ACRES Institutional Research Agenda is a comprehensive 5-year roadmap under development by the Research, Innovation and Evaluations Unit, and outlines the organisation’s research priorities and activities aimed at maximizing its impact in the Evidence-Informed Decision Making (EIDM) field.
The establishment of the Institutional Research Agenda was driven by the need for a clear strategic direction to guide ACRES’ research priorities and activities. This agenda aims to address key gaps and challenges in the EIDM landscape in Uganda, ultimately contributing to the advancement of knowledge and practice in this critical area.
The Institutional Research Agenda has undergone an iterative process involving:
- Desk review of existing literature on EIDM gaps, challenges, and opportunities
- Key informant interviews
- Priority-setting exercise
This comprehensive roadmap will guide ACRES’ research priorities and activities, ensuring that the institution remains responsive to the needs of its clientele and maintains its relevance in the EIDM field.
