🌿Good evidence doesn’t always speak for itself. What actually helps policymakers engage with evidence - and what gets in the way? 📘Our new toolkit 'From Evidence to Engagement', built from grantee insights, explores exactly that. 🔗https://shorturl.at/eKlMU #PolicyEngagement #ResearchImpact #GCBC
1.	From Evidence to Engagement: A Toolkit for Working with Policymakers

2. Start Where You Are
Engagement doesn’t require finished results or formal influence goals - early engagement builds trust, aligns research with needs, and supports future uptake when timed to local context and readiness.

Trust, Relationships, and Practice
Engagement works best through ongoing relationships built on trust, regular contact, informal exchange, and seeing work on the ground.
There Is No Single Pathway
There is no single route into policy engagement - projects connect through multiple entry points, with stronger impact when aligned with existing decisions and local systems.

Random thing, but I did not know that we owe 'jaywalking' to the wonderful auto-industry. Apparently it's from early 20th century US. The car industry used it to blame pedestrians for accidents (a jay was a cluelessly bumkin, so the accident is their fault, not the car/driver's...) True???

India claimed to have intercepted hundreds of Pakistani drones, which it said came across the border into Indian-controlled Kashmir, as well as Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat. It said a first wave of drones came on Thursday evening and another wave hit close to dawn on Friday. Continue reading...
