Increasing the use of research in Swedish development policy and practice
Welcome to this SweDev seminar about the use of research in Swedish development policy and practice. How do we increase the use of research in Swedish development policy and practice? What contributes to research being picked up in policy? And, what can be done to increase the relevance of research for practitioners?
The seminar will mark the launch of the new SweDev study Increasing the use of research in Swedish development policy and practice that assesses how Swedish practitioners and policymakers who work on development cooperation perceive and use research-based knowledge. The study seeks to understand the factors that facilitate or hinder the use of research-based knowledge to help achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The study presents recommendations to increase evidence-based policy making.
Registration is mandatory.
