This new publication brings together stories of the impacts that are emerging from the second phase of ELLA (2014-2017), focused on impacts in Africa, recording how the evidence on the issues investigated by the 12 research centres has been accessed, discussed and used by African participants in the programme.
After closing the second phase of the ELLA Programme, Mark Lewis, programme director, shares two stories inter-regional lesson learning and policy impact achieved by the programme.
During the last year, we held a variety of webinars on different development topics, all which are now available to watch at any time on our youtube channel. You can find them both in English and Spanish!
The ELLA Programme second Phase (2014-2017) has been an ambitious project. On this report we explore its aims, targets and achievements.
Our comparative Evidence Papers (CEPs) contain comparisons between the experiences between different regions on a particular topic, to support inter-regional lesson-learning.
