Evidence to Action

Our commitment to the EPA (Evidence, Policy, Action) approach comes to life through six pivotal programs. Each program is a cornerstone in our mission to transform knowledge into tangible outcomes for African communities.

Our programs

ACED deploys six structuring programs along the chain of production, brokering and use of evidence. These programs act in synergy and complementarity to make the ecosystem of evidence and development policies more enabling.

We strengthen capacities of evidence producers, brokers and users.
Evidence generation
We support demand-driven evidence generation on development issues.
Evidence brokering
We deliver clear, concise, and actionable evidence to policy makers and practitioners.
Learning & knowledge sharing
We facilitate co-learning and knowledge sharing among individuals, organizations and countries.
Evidence utilization
We support institutionalization of evidence use.
Action & community support
We co-design and implement cost-effective and sustainable innovations to support African communities.
