The 14th annual Africa Evidence Summit (AES) will be co-hosted by Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) and the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA), in partnership with the Policy Studies Institute (PSI), on July 23 – 24, 2026 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The AES seeks to elevate the voices of African scholars in research, disseminate new research findings to decision-makers, seed new collaborations, and generate insights to advance evidence-informed policy making. Centered on the theme “Powering Policy with Innovative, Inclusive, Transparent Data,” the Summit will spotlight policy-relevant research across sectors such as climate, agriculture, education, digital transformation, and financial inclusion.
