Dhaka Colloquium on Systematic Reviews in International Development 2012

The Dhaka Colloquium on Systematic Reviews in International Development brought together 130 leading researchers and policymakers from 31 countries. 

As the movement for evidence-based development is gathering momentum, the important contribution of systematic reviews has come into sharp focus. By drawing on all existing evidence on a particular intervention or programme, systematic reviews can offer valuable lessons for policymakers and programme managers.

The Colloquium which was held from 10-14 December 2012 was hosted by BRAC University, in association with CIDA, 3ie and ICDDR-B, under the auspices of the Campbell Collaboration and International Development Coordinating Group. The conference was preceded by introductory and advanced workshops on systematic review production.
