Newsletter February 2024
Countries in the Asia-Pacific region have indicated their need for support in ensuring that data and evidence can be presented to, and used effectively by policy makers, thus taking evidence to action.
- On 11 – 12 July 2023, Bangladesh held their first consultative meeting on Supporting Evidence to Inform Policy Outcomes in Bangladesh (or Evidence to Action: E2A). After consultations, the priority topic selected by Bangladesh's E2A was Child Marriage and Adolescent Pregnancy.
- The National Capacity workshop, co-organized by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and ESCAP Statistics Division on 14 – 15 February 2024 in Dhaka, engaged relevant data producers and users in strengthening their capacity on bridging the gap between evidence, policy and practice in the E2A cycle.
