The Evidence Hub of Latin America and the Caribbean (Hub LAC) has launched a regional initiative to map individuals and organizations that are part of the Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIPM) ecosystem across the region. The survey form is now available online and will remain open until June 30, 2025.
This mapping is the first step in a broader research effort that will result in a report expected by the end of this year. The goal is to better understand the people and institutions promoting the use of evidence in public policymaking, while also strengthening and updating Hub LAC’s collaborative network.
By keeping this community connected, Hub LAC aims to create tangible opportunities to:
- Share projects and research
- Participate in interdisciplinary regional initiatives
- Access funding opportunities
- Exchange knowledge and experiences among professionals and organizations
“We aim to present, by the end of 2025, an overview of how our community is distributed, the type of work we do, and the thematic areas we focus on. This will help us better understand who we are as a network and recognize our collective potential,” says Carolina Beidacki, Project Coordinator at Hub LAC.
Who can participate?
Both individuals and institutions working in or interested in the field of EIPM are invited to complete the form. If you represent an organization, please provide institutional information when applicable. If you’re responding in a personal capacity, use your individual information.
Your participation is essential to increasing the impact of EIPM across Latin America and the Caribbean and to strengthening collaboration among policymakers, academia, and civil society—joining forces to promote evidence use in public decision-making.
👉 Access the form here (It will take less than 10 minutes to complete. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality.)
📅 Deadline: June 30, 2025

The Hub LAC is pleased to announce its integration into the Implementation Council of the Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges.
The initiative, created by McMaster University in Canada, involves contributions from various organizations and civic leaders worldwide to promote and lead efforts to implement the Commission’s 24 recommendations and three priorities.
In addition to the recognition of the Hub LAC as a partner organization in the effort to improve the use of evidence to address social challenges, participation in meetings ensures the exchange of experiences, the opportunity to interact with other organizations, make proposals, and develop activities focused on the synergistic implementation of goals.
“We celebrate our inclusion in the Implementation Council of the GCE. Thanks to this, the Hub LAC will be able to expand its networking, sharing knowledge and experiences with the most important global organizations in the field of Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIPM). This will allow us to continue our mission of promoting transnational and interdisciplinary collaboration for the institutionalization of evidence-informed decision-making in the Latin American and Caribbean region.” Duber Osorio: Coordinator/Researcher at Hub LAC.
For Laura Boeira, Director of the Veredas Institute, which is also part of the Commission, “the Hub LAC gains significant international visibility by joining the Council, especially reaffirming its commitment to strengthening evidence support systems, improving the global evidence architecture, and placing evidence at the center of everyday life for everyone.”
