Africa Evidence Week 2021 is a virtual celebration of African evidence-informed decision-making excellence. Join us on 13-17 September 2021 and share any digital content to promote and showcase your work across all the Africa Evidence Network's online platforms.
The inaugural Africa Evidence Week 2019 organically generated overwhelming attention from our stakeholders on Twitter with over 4,651,218 impressions and 2,493 engagements on social platforms in under seven days. With digital content supplied by members and curated by the Africa Evidence work secretariat, Africa Evidence Week is a true reflection of how only together, can evidence-informed decision-making become a reality.
