Date: October 9, 2024
On 9 October 2024, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) will be hosting a webinar to ‘’present the mechanism envisioned in an AFD policy paper to finance social science research production and research capacity building in Africa, and will put it up for debate with 3 experts from the sector.’’
The mechanism, which was inspired by research studies and successful experience in the sector, would support initiatives led by researchers and institutions in a complementary role to existing national efforts. Further, the mechanism would foster a deeper understanding of various contexts, encourage program evaluation, and facilitate the networking of stakeholder communities, ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged appropriately.
Please note that the event will be in French, however an English translation will be provided
