Brief Description:
This interactive workshop will introduce evidence maps, an online interactive and visual tool that can support evidence informed decision-making.
Evidence maps are innovative visual tools that support informed, efficient, and transparent decision-making in policy, practice, and research. They organize and display the evidence on a topic, set of interventions, activities, projects or programmes, allowing policymakers and practitioners to quickly understand the current state of the best available evidence and make informed decisions.
Workshop participants will learn:
- What are evidence maps and for what they can be used.
- How to develop an evidence map, from the framework to collecting and coding the studies.
- The utility and value of evidence maps for summarizing bodies of evidence, identifying gaps, enhancing transparency and accessibility, and promoting evidence-informed decision-making.
- About different types of evidence maps and different approaches to designing them, including approaches based upon co-production.
- How to interpret and use evidence maps.
- How to encourage stakeholders in the production and use of evidence maps as a basis for evidence-informed decision making.
Targeted Audiences:
- This includes national decision-makers at all levels.
- Civil society or development organization representatives who have a role as evidence brokers.
