The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) cordially invites you to its Africa Evidence Summit in Nairobi, Kenya on June 19-20, 2023. We are delighted to partner with the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA) and the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) to host this event.
The summit is an annual gathering that brings together East and West African scholars, U.S.-based faculty, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss the latest research findings on economic development and poverty alleviation on the continent. The summit also promotes discussion on new ways to integrate evidence into decision-making and elevate African scholars' voices.
This is an in-person event in Nairobi, Kenya. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor travel funding at this time. We encourage interested faculty, students, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to join us. Stay tuned for a forthcoming agenda soon.

About Global Networks
Investing in local research talent can catalyze evidence-driven policy change around the world.
CEGA’s Global Networks program invests in LMIC scholars to become knowledge-generators in their home countries and regions. Through semester-long fellowships at UC Berkeley, scholars audit development economics courses, present their work at seminars, apply to competitive funding opportunities, receive faculty and peer mentorship, and network with faculty and students across the CEGA network. In addition, the Global Networks team organizes conferences to disseminate locally-generated research, connects fellows with policy makers and other partners, and hosts events for LMIC scholars to deliver and receive feedback on working papers. Global Networks also offers opportunities for LMIC scholars to engage remotely, including the CEGA Global Workshop and the CEGA Non-Resident Fellowship.
