Please join us for our
2022 Africa Evidence Summit

CEGA cordially invites you to our 10th Annual Africa Evidence Summit in Kigali, Rwanda on June 29-30, 2022. The Summit is an annual gathering where East and West African researchers, U.S.-based researchers, policymakers, and practitioners share evidence related to poverty and development in the region and forge new connections. We are delighted to partner with the Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa (NIERA), the University of Rwanda (UR), and CEGA’s Digital Credit Observatory (DCO) to host this event. 

This year, the Summit will feature several research presentations and panel discussions, including a panel on inclusion in global development research. Additionally, we invite academics and practitioners with relevant work to submit a poster for the Summit. Please see details here and apply by April 25, 2022. 

The agenda is being finalized, but please see our event website for a list of confirmed speakers so far. 

Please click on the link above to register by June 13th. We encourage attendance by interested faculty, PhD students, researchers, implementing partners, and policymakers. 

We'll share a complete agenda in the coming weeks. We hope to see you there!
