UN policy research for SDG 2030

In 2018, JIU undertakes a review on policy research uptake aiming at identifying ways to improve the existing mechanisms and processes of producing and using policy research originating within and outside the United Nations system. For the purpose of this review, research uptake is defined as the process of becoming aware of, and accessing research, alongside with policies, systems and mechanisms supporting this process. It thus includes all activities facilitating the use of research evidence by United Nations staff and policy makers.
