Summary
Despite broad acceptance of the need for evidence-based research, it is still sparsely used for educational policy, planning and practice in countries of the Global South. It is necessary to deepen the understanding of and capacity for using research by governments. This project will mobilize organizations of policy analysts and planners in education across 25 countries to promote the uptake of research evidence in policy and planning decisions. At the same time, the project will strengthen cross-country professional community-building and networking by supporting policy analysts and planners to collaborate in a broad international network to discuss and build on lessons learned.
The project intends to complement and amplify the impact of existing knowledge mobilization and capacity strengthening of education system stakeholders as well as the development of research on relevant policy topics advanced by research projects on scaling the impact of educational innovation. While regional hubs focus primarily on individual capacity strengthening, the focus of this project is on institutional capacity strengthening. The overall aim is to build a sustainable ecosystem of research users and producers that sees value in producing and using research evidence for policy and planning decisions.
This project is funded through the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, a joint endeavour with IDRC to connect expertise, innovation and knowledge to support low- and middle-income countries to build stronger education systems and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal of securing inclusive and quality education for all and promoting lifelong learning.
