I always enjoy a good #paneldiscussion - @JeremyFarrar is facilitating the discussion w/ different representatives from donor organizations to discuss ‘Funding evidence-informed policy initiatives’

@DinaPomeranz @Oxford_CSAE @Makerere So many African countries that won’t discriminate attendees on the basis of their birthplace or the country that issued their passport.
English
@Oxford_CSAE @Makerere Have you considered moving the full conference to Kampala? Would be great fot a conference in Africa to be in Africa. Or maybe alternate, one year in the UK, the other in a different African country? Would hugely increase accessibility and also bring resources to the continent.
English
We have some funding available to support African conference speakers (see full criteria). If awarded, funded participants will attend both a pre-conference workshop at @Makerere in Kampala, Uganda, & #OxCSAE2024.

@ChristianaGbed @UNICEFGhana .@cchibwana [@Hewlett_Found] hits home the importance of *trust* in using evidence for policy
Trust = [credibility + reliability + intimacy]/[self-orientation]
😀 yes ~ all of the ## crunchers in the room are appreciating this equation!

@carsonamelia7 reminded me of our brief discussion yesterday around academic incentives

It’s possible to conduct research that satisfies both private/researcher and public interests. The starting point should be the policy question and not the methods. @maya_ranganath @CEGA_UC
