From Evidence to Action: How Research Actually Moves Through Government

Many fully researched reports sit in government drawers, never informing policy decisions. The challenge is rarely a lack of evidence. More often, it is understanding how evidence moves through the realities of government to improve the lives of citizens. In our latest podcast episode, "From Evidence to Action: How Research Actually Moves Through Government,”  we explore why some research informs reform while other evidence loses momentum. Moderated by Emmanuel Ejewule, Team Lead, Evidence and Impact Team at the Foundation, the episode features Dr Yusuf Saeed, former Director of Human Resource Management at the Federal Ministry of Education. They examine what it takes for research to move through the real machinery of government, from informing decisions and securing budgets to shaping implementation and delivering better outcomes for citizens.
