Evidence and Policy Making in Zimbabwe is a no-holds- barred documentary produced by ZeipNET that gives different stakeholders' views of the policy making system in Zimbabwe. The content stems mostly from interviews with different stakeholders who have participated in the BCURE project over the last three years in various capacities. It highlights perceptions in terms of whether policy makers use evidence, how inclusive and transparent the process is among other dimensions. Watch video on YouTube
ZeipNET has been working to strengthen the capacity of policymakers to use research evidence in Zimbabwe. Over the last four years this has been funded as part of the VakaYiko Consortium. This was a project involving five organizations working in three countries: Ghana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Work in a fourth country, Uganda, started in late 2015. This project was funded by UKAID under the Building Capacity for Use of Research Evidence (BCURE) programme. Find out more here
