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.

for the East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative

for the Labor Center’s Power and Strategy project
The Labor Center, housed at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at University of California, Berkeley, will launch a comprehensive project to better understand the relationship between power and strategy in the social formations in which labor markets are embedded. The project will produce a scholarly monograph, a manual, and both academic and worker-oriented training curricula to teach power structure research skills to a variety of actors, including practitioners in the field.
