My name is Phebeans Oriaro Weya. I am a Kenyan. I currently work as the Country Director of Innovations for Poverty Action-Kenya, an American not-for profit organization committed to conducting rigorous research, including policy impact evaluations, mainly using RCT methodology, to evaluate what works. We are keen on research-policy nexus and would like our research findings to lead to policy impact. Before this, I worked with ActionAid and Oxfam in policy advocacy and influencing. I am keen to learn what other teams are doing in the policy space and what works for them to motivate the policy maker to use evidence to inform decisions.
