Abstract

The report reviews workshop sessions of the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA). In line with INGSA’s goal of strengthening capacity for science advice, particularly in developing countries, this was the first capacity building workshop in the region. It brought together almost 50 scientists and policymakers, representing 13 countries. Discussions included principles and structures of science advice, and moved through an interactive format based on fictional case studies. These were designed to stimulate discussion and reflection among all participants on specific issues concerning science advice.
