Towards a community of practice : evidence-based advocacy and policy change
Get PDFSupporting Colansa, the Community of Practice for healthy food systems, CLAS promoted evidence-based advocacy and policy change. In nine months over 2021-22, we set out to (1) position healthy and sustainable food systems among authorities and stakeholders; (2) support improved interaction between advocates and academics; (3) evaluate public awareness among stakeholders to improve communications; and (4) develop a strategy for reaching policy makers. Methods included group consensus, convening key actors, expert opinion, education for adults, and exploring social listening. To position the topic with authorities, Ministers of Health (MoH) and Finance were added to an electronic platform. MoH received a letter informing them about Colansa and its Manifesto. The “Regional NCD Agenda 2022-2030” included the collaboration with Colansa. To support interactions between advocates and academics, 2 videos and an interactive 2-day virtual session engaged them. The 51 participants discussed challenges of research for policy change, Mexico and Brazil experiences, and communicating research to non-academics. We convened and surveyed communication specialists and explored social listening in Central America showing there was a need for more frequent information and translating science into easy-to-understand concepts. Finally, a policy brief on Front of Package labelling for decision makers was developed responding to frequently asked questions

Get PDFClimate resilient development pathways in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region
Get PDFCommunities throughout the world face substantial challenges in the face of climate change. This is of particular concern in climate change hotspots, especially where extreme climate effects coincide with large numbers of vulnerable and poor people. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is one such climate change hotspot. For development to be sustainable in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, interventions need to include choices and actions that improve livelihoods and alleviate poverty, counteract climate change, are inclusive for the most vulnerable and resilient over time. Climate resilient development pathways present an option to bring together these goals, by consolidating climate action and development choices to generate pathways towards sustainable development.UK Government’s Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO
Strengthening research systems for peace and democracy in high-risk contexts : synthesis of key findings and recommendations : IDRC internal learning studies
Get PDFThis report is part of an effort by the IDRC to strengthen the contribution of research support to democratic governance and voice and accountability in high-risk contexts. A key challenge in these contexts is democratic governance: the open, fair, and inclusive ways in which societies cope with challenges and competing interests. The evidence is overwhelming that democratic governance — including elections, methods to foster participation in shaping public policies, and ways of holding governments to account — is crucial for human and economic development. The functions of democratic governance are also essential for international aid to be effective
