Evidence for Democracy or E4D has been a recent bulwark of scientific education and support of the work for evidence-based policy making and decision-making.
Many researchers, science-enthusiasts, and scientists came out in 2017. They came out to represent science, or ask for it to be represented, in Budget 2018. They talked to their MPs. They went to the social media land.
They submitted briefs.
With Budget 2019 close by as well. It is now time to begin the advocacy process once more, from the ground up. There has been the launch of the Budget Toolkit now.
E4D is putting this out as its latest training document. It is to help people find out how the pre-budget process works, especially in regards to advocating for funding.
The Budget Toolkit is crucial for the process of advocating to the government. The government uses information from the public to make decisions about the priorities for the entire year.
So, it is, as the kids say, kind of, sort of, maybe, like, like, you know, a super-big deal. It is in this substantive process that makes letting the government know that the public considers science important integral to the investment in science and evidence-based decision-making.
Another item launched was the recent issue of the volunteer newsletter:
