This report has been adapted from a series of studies conducted to inform the design of a scientific advisory system for Peru as part of a project implemented by OTT Consulting for the British Council: “Newton Professional Development and Engagement programme: to create a Scientific Advisory Unit in Peru”. The project was conducted in 2020-2021.
In an era where policy-making is increasingly complex and interconnected, the need for strategic knowledge and scientific advice has never been more critical. This study, developed from a project implemented by OTT Consulting for the British Council in partnership with Peru’s national science council, delves into the intricacies of scientific advisory systems, with a particular focus on Peru.
Drawing from international experiences and a series of semi-structured interviews with key actors in Peru, the study then offers an insightful analysis and forward-looking recommendations for enhancing the use of scientific advice in policy-making in the Global South.
