Abstract
This article explores lessons on integrating research evidence into policy
through public-private dialogue for the purpose of enhancing evidence-based policy making. Based on a qualitative analysis of the engagement of
researchers and policy actors in Tanzania, it is evident that collaborative
arrangements of researchers, the private sector, media and policy makers
promote the use of research findings in the policy-making process.
Accordingly, we suggest a multi-disciplinary network of academia and
policy actors as a tool to bring about effective utilisation of research
findings in policy decisions
