AidData’s journey to build more equitable post-pandemic partnerships

Through bolstering our engagement with policymakers, influencers, and researchers in Africa, our ultimate aim was to see data and evidence incorporated into public-sector decision making across sectors and at multiple levels of government. In the next in this series of articles, we will share our experiences of finding two Ghana-based partner organisations and the initial work we have started with each. In subsequent articles, we share some of our key findings from the process of identifying suitable partners, look at some of the main challenges facing North–South partnerships, and suggest a checklist for organisations looking to follow this path.
