L'utilisation des données probantes dans le processus d'élaboration des politiques publiques n'est pas si simple qu'on le pense; surtout dans le contexte africain. Le recours aux données probantes dépend de nombreux facteurs: un grand nombre de sources, de parties prenantes et de contextes sont concernés. Le courtage des connaissances implique de naviguer dans un environnement complexe, une sphère hautement politisée, motivée par divers intérêts. C'est pourquoi les courtiers de connaissances doivent être doter à la fois de savoir-faire et de savoir-être, dont l'habileté politique. Alors comment optimiser la mobilisation et l'utilisation des connaissances dans le processus d'élaboration des politiques publiques? La réflexion est de taille!!! Les lectures proposées dans ce numéro de l'IDEV_eVALUation Matters Magazine nous apportent quelques pistes de réflexion, voire de solutions! Bonne lecture:)

In partnership with the Hanns Seidel Foundation, the African Futures and Innovation (AFI) programme at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) organised a series of events from May 22 to 25, 2024, in Kinshasa, DRC, where I presented the results and conclusions of our study on the long-term development prospects for the DRC. I had constructive discussions with various stakeholders, including representatives of the government, policymakers, international organizations, civil society, women leaders, academia and the private sector on strategies to accelerate inclusive growth and development in the DRC. Despite its vast natural resources, the DRC remains behind in many development indicators, with its current GDP per capita lower than when it gained independence in 1960. On its current development trajectory, the country risks having the second-highest number of poor people globally by 2050, second only to Nigeria. The study identifies the socio-economic challenges and opportunities of the DRC and proposes various scenarios to guide the country towards a more prosperous and stable future.

We understand that sustainable social and behavior change can only be achieved by supporting, leveraging and elevating the existing capabilities of the people, communities and organizations closest to where change is needed. This is why we call our approach to local capacity strengthening, accompaniment. For us, accompaniment is an intentional, collaborative and respectful process where we support mutual effectiveness, learning and resilience. At the core of our accompaniment model lies the A-CORD framework: To Assess - Commit, Organize, Relate and Deliver. This framework facilitates a participatory process for local organizations to self-analyze their strengths and challenges, supports their comprehensive action planning, and promotes continual collaboration, adaptation and learning.
