Full broadcast | 'Pro-poor' pathways and the politics of development

🔎 How do different actors shape the pathways of ‘pro-poor’ policymaking across Africa?

In this showcase, early career researchers delivered three-minute pitches on their groundbreaking research into the political and institutional dynamics behind development policy implementation in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, and beyond.

PhD researchers shared insights from their fieldwork across the Global South—and occasionally the Global North—exploring topics like researcher positionality, the role of actors in policymaking, and the societal impact of their work.

This hybrid event featured findings from the Eradicating Poverty: Pathways Towards Achieving the SDGs (ADAPTED) project, funded by the EU through Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. The ADAPTED network equips PhD students to produce research that drives real-world change.
