Abstract:
The project consisted of three components; research, capacity building and dissemination. The research component consisted of conducting systematic reviews (SRs) on topics related to development. The capacity-building component was aimed at training a select group of mid-level and senior policy intellectuals on how to conduct SRs. The dissemination component communicated the results to a larger group of policy intellectuals through events including the Communications Policy Research South (CPRsouth) conference and other events, making use of policy windows where appropriate.
