Evidence 2025, hosted by the Africa Evidence Network (AEN) and the African Center for Equitable Development (ACED), is a groundbreaking event that brings together the Pan-African community to advance evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) across the continent. This collaborative initiative aims to foster connections, deepen understanding, and drive impact in EIDM, ultimately reducing poverty and inequality in Africa. Registration is free for Africans and colleagues from low-income settings outside of the continent. We look forward to welcoming all our delegates.
