This inaugural edition of the 3ie evidence dialogues will focus on the role of evidence in the context of peacebuilding and transitional development assistance. It will include a brief presentation of findings from a new systematic review assessing the effects of interventions to promote social cohesion, followed by a discussion of the role and use of evidence in the sector. Panellists will address questions relating to the opportunities and challenges associated with evidence-informed decision making in the sector, including reflecting on current practice, how to build a culture of evidence use, and how to ensure existing evidence is easily available and new evidence addresses existing gaps.

Dr. Jörn Grävingholt, Senior Researcher, German Development Institute (DIE);
Ada Sonnenfeld, Evaluation Specialist, 3ie
Tammy Smith, Senior Advisor, UN Peacebuilding
