Evidence-based policymaking is crucial for developing cost-effective strategies that address the root causes of food insecurity and malnutrition around the world. However, significant gaps exist between research and policy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). More evidence does not always lead to better policies. Often, translating evidence into action is hindered by cognitive, institutional, and logistical barriers. Taddese Zerfu looks at the National Information Platforms for Nutrition (NiPN), a pioneering initiative aimed at bridging the gap between nutrition research and policymaking, in this recent blog: https://lnkd.in/eJPrt7ea CGIAR
