For Support To The Evidence In Governance And Politics Network

Overview
Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) is a research, evaluation, and learning network based at the University of California at Berkeley that fosters academic-practitioner collaborations to study governance and politics with an intensive focus in the Global South. This grant supports EGAP to strengthen its partnerships with regional research hubs through three sets of activities: (a) events and research papers that take evidence on governance interventions in specific contexts and use them to make policy recommendations in new contexts; (b) the development of tools and infrastructure for improving governance research; and (c) a series of “Learning Days” events for researchers from the Global South coupled with a grantmaking program for research projects.
