The role of monitoring, evaluation, and research units in an increasingly turbulent world

Abstract

This paper explores the role of knowledge brokers in facilitating the use of evidence in an increasingly uncertain and crisis-ridden world. It is based on case study research in 5 countries of Africa and the ECOWAS region of West Africa, where successful efforts to use evidence emerged. These case studies were based on an analytical framework developed on evidence use, building on the work of Michie et al., (2011), Buk-Berge et al., (2011)
