Evidence-Informed Policy Writing Training Workshop for Developmental and Health workers in Bolgatanta - Northern Ghana

Every nation and institution is fashioned on certain laid down policy framework which serve as a guide to help them charter a worthy course and be able to evaluate and track their progress. In Ghana, Non-Governmental Organisations and other Civil Society Organisations are key in both the formulation and implementation of government polices but most of these NGO’s lack the requisite skills that are needed to effectively and efficiently influence polices in the country.

It is against this backdrop that Ghana Information Network for Knowledge Sharing (GINKS) in partnership with International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) organised a five day workshop from the 24th -28th October, 2011 for some selected NGO’s and other Health workers in the Upper East region on how to write evidenced based policy briefs and how to present these briefs in such a way that it influences the general policies.
