2. To understand how timely, demand-driven, equity-sensitive evidence support can be aligned:
   1. up to advisory and decision-making processes
   2. out to learning and improvement platforms.
3. To understand how an evaluation system can be situated in the broader context of an evidence-support system.

Targeted Audiences:

• Government officials from national and sub-national institutions, who are directly and indirectly engaged with evaluation and public policy.
• Other evaluation stakeholders – including the civil society organizations, academia, the private sector, and partner agency staff – who are seeking to inform government officials.
