Overview
The East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative enables East African researchers to conduct impact evaluations of social and economic programs, generating evidence for public policymaking. Researchers receive fellowships and grants from the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley to carry out field studies, build capacity in African universities, and engage with governments. This supplemental grant will enable CEGA to work with African researchers and research institutions to encourage equitable partnerships between scholars across continents. Its aim is to change norms and practices across the field, not just in its own work. (Strategy: Evidence-Informed Policymaking)

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Othering and Belonging Institute
The Othering and Belonging Institute (OBI) at the University of California, Berkeley, advances research, policy, and ideas that examine and remediate the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality (“othering”) in order to build a world based on inclusion, fairness, justice, and care for the earth (“belonging”). Belonging, as OBI defines it, means having a meaningful voice and the opportunity to participate in the design of political, social, and cultural structures that shape one’s life — the right to both contribute to and make demands upon society and political institutions. At its core, structural belonging holds a radically inclusive vision because it requires mutual power, access, and opportunity among all groups and individuals within a shared container. This grant will enable OBI to deepen its efforts.
for support of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership
This grant supports the creation of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership at UC Berkeley. Impact CFO will create a pipeline for senior finance professionals in the social sector who will manage the growing complexity of nonprofit finance, serve on leadership teams, and lead organizations to financial sustainability. Impact CFO is a program of the center whose mission is to prepare a new generation of cross-sector leaders with the practical skills to tackle complex global challenges and achieve social impact.
for support of Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars
Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars is a research collaborative at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education. It brings together education policy researchers who are committed to preparing and supporting early-career scholars of education policy. This program grant will enable and support the growth of this institute. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
