Strengthening science advisory processes within the UN General Assembly
Strengthening science advisory processes within the UN General Assembly
This working paper, compiled by researchers at the University of Bristol (UK), working in partnership with a consortium of Global South knowledge centres, aims to support the process of science reform of the UN General Assembly. It traces the recent history of evidence usage within UNGA practice, summarises current theory on how to use evidence to inform policy, and then, drawing on a systematic literature review and four national case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, it highlights best practices from both national and international policy processes. Finally, derived from these findings, a range of considerations are presented for member states working to strengthen evidentiary processes within the UNGA.

Abstract
This working paper, compiled by researchers at the University of Bristol (UK), working in partnership with a consortium of Global South knowledge centres, aims to support the process of science reform of the UN General Assembly. It traces the recent history of evidence usage within UNGA practice, summarises current theory on how to use evidence to inform policy, and then, drawing on a systematic literature review and four national case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, it highlights best practices from both national and international policy processes. Finally, derived from these findings, a range of considerations are presented for member states working to strengthen evidentiary processes within the UNGA.
