There is one Decade ahead of us to achieve the 2030 Agenda. This may seem long, but the clock is ticking! We have only ten years to transform our world. We need much wider and deeper discussions, initiatives and actions about the use of #Evidence if we wish to achieve the 2030 Agenda. To counter the continuous post-truth narrative, #EvidenceMatters now more than it ever had! The 15 things identified as actions for Evidence Champions should be viewed as a journey in which we collectively aim to widen a culture and society in which #EvidenceMatters. EvalPartners is continuously engaging with stakeholders on this journey, and will communicate more specific time frames and events to accelerate and amplify some of these activities for greater impact
