Transforming evidence-informed decision-making: ACRES Training Programme for Knowledge Practitioners

Listen to Peter Kasadha, a research associate at the Center For Rapid Evidence Synthesis (ACRES) as part of the Africa Evidence Week celebrations.
The Evidence-Informed Decision-Making (EIDM) space is evolving, and knowledge practitioners need to adapt to meet the changing demands. While technical competencies are essential, the ACRES training program recognizes the critical importance of collaborative and cultural competencies in shaping the EIDM landscape. The ACRES program is designed to equip knowledge practitioners with the skills to effectively engage stakeholders, build relationships, and navigate the policy environment. By emphasizing collaborative and cultural competencies, ACRES aims to revolutionize the EIDM space, enabling knowledge practitioners to drive equitable social and health outcomes.
