The Africa Evidence Summit is an annual in-person gathering that brings together East and Western African scholars, global faculty at higher education institutions, policymakers, and practitioners to advance the latest evidence on economic development and poverty alleviation in Africa. This year’s Summit will convene an audience of about 500 to explore the latest evidence on “Better Data for Decision-Making,” spotlighting cost-effective, policy-relevant, transparent, and inclusive research.
