Kadzamira: the conference will provide a platform for researchers

She added that the conference will inform the think tank’s decision-making in the development of the country.

“The conference will provide a platform where researchers in the country will avail the opportunity to articulate the intricacies of the research studies that have been conducted, with the hope that the research results will translate into something more tangible, such as evidence-based policy formulation,” said Kadzamira.

On his part, Andrew Jamali, a Research Manager for National Planning Commission, said there is a need to spin up the work and intervention towards manufacturing and science and technology, and innovations.

He said the National Research Dissemination Conference will provide a platform where experts will be able to find out ways that the results of research brought to the table will be used.
