This paper seeks to contribute to filling this gap by discussing the contribution of a loose regional network, the Network of African Parliamentary Committees on Health (NEAPACOH), to the evidence ecosystem in African parliaments. Although the network was not set up to strengthen evidence use, its mechanisms for realising its goal of strengthening parliamentary committees of health to effectively tackle health challenges in Africa provide an opportunity for understanding how such networks are contributing to strengthening the weak evidence ecosystem in African parliaments. The authors have been involved in the work of the network and therefore use this network for this study purposively.<\/p>\n<p>Link to journal article,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2JXweqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Authors: Dr. Rose Oronje and Dr. Eliya Zulu<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite growing interest in evidence among parliamentarians and some emerging literature on evidence use in decision making in parliaments, there is still a notable gap in knowledge on the ecosystem of evidence in parliaments.
