“From Research to Policy to Action”
UNESCO’s Social and Human Sciences Sector will organize, in collaboration with the Government of Kenya, a parallel event to the 7th edition of the World Social Forum. It will be organized in the frame of UNESCO’s Management of Social Transformations Programme (MOST).
 
UNESCO, and in particular its MOST Programme, has been making an ongoing effort to strengthen the research-policy nexus through the International Forum on the Social Science – Policy Nexus, the Regional Fora of Ministers of Social Development and other MOST activities. The purpose of this parallel event is to take this effort forward by using the opportunity of the World Social Forum to bring NGOs together with Ministers of Social Development and academics at the interregional level.

Among the items on the agenda are the following:
  • Buenos Aires and Beyond
    • The first International Forum on the Social Science Policy Nexus and the Buenos Aires declaration: an agenda for action
    • Proposals for follow-up:
      • Interregional Forum of Ministers of Social Development
      • Second edition of the IFSP
      • Other networks and mechanisms
    • Social development: from research to policy to action (concept paper prepared and presented by UNESCO).
  • Assessing the Research-Policy Nexus
    • Research for policy
    • Evidence-based policies
  • From Assessment to Action
    • Assessing the research-policy nexus: from advocacy to action
    • Participation, democracy, governance
    • Conclusions: how to establish innovative social policy partnerships and make them work
The foreseen outcomes will be:
  • A better platform for exchange between involved actors and between regions;
  • Clarification of institutional best practices;
  • Appropriate publications to disseminate lessons to wider audiences;
  • Movement towards a shared agenda on the issues raised by the Buenos Aires process.
