Register now: Engaging with Policy in the Global South Conference – April 26 2022


Limited slots are still available for our one-day conference, Engaging with Policy in the Global South, on Tuesday 26 April.  If you’re an academic working on issues of importance to governments and decision makers in the Global South, and are hoping to influence policy decisions, then we warmly invite you to attend. You will hear directly from policy makers and practitioners from around the globe, as well as from leading policy-engaged Nottingham academics, on how to approach policy impact work that takes account of historical and local context and develops positive, equitable relationships with policy actors in the Global South. Learning from experiences from both academics and policy professionals, find out what works in terms of successful impact – and what doesn’t. Through interactive discussions and workshops, you’ll also be able to start developing the tools to apply this expertise to your own work. Invited speakers include Hon. David Sengeh, Minister of Education from Sierra Leone; and senior officials at the African Union, UNICEF, GIZ, among others.
We hope you will join us for a stimulating, challenging and valuable day.
