Results for Development Institute

Results for Development will research how evidence is translated between producers and users in the evidence-informed policymaking ecosystem. The research will include a map of translators in East and West Africa; a framework and typologies that describe their activities, contextual constraints, and enabling factors; and characteristics that influence their success. It will also include ethnographic case studies.

This grant will allow the Results for Development Institute to develop the Governance Data Alliance, which will facilitate coordination and knowledge-sharing among producers of data about governance, collect and analyze data to enhance the understanding of target governance data users’ needs, and develop mechanisms to ensure that governance data producers are responsive to these needs. The Governance Data Alliance’s ultimate goal is to improve the availability, quality, and use of governance data.
