BUILDING EVIDENCE FOR POLICY ACTION
Join us in our mission to foster prosperity and economic development through evidence-informed policies and collaborative initiatives that address pressing social challenges to create lasting positive impact.
CEPDIME
The centre aims to bridge the gap between academic research and policymaking by generating, synthesizing, utilizing and scaling up evidence to help policymakers implement and translate evidence into actionable policy outcomes. We extend our research beyond looking for “what works” to “what works best”, from impact evaluation to development impact in a cost-effective way.
