Post-doc researchers of the “Governing SDG interactions in East-Africa” project have distilled policy advice from the paper of Wiegant D., Dewulf A. and Van Zeben J. (2024) (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2024.106721). Their advice is organised into four policy briefs that speak specifically to different target audiences:

• For the International Donor community: Towards a Comprehensive Overview of Alignment Mechanisms for Effective Governance of the Sustainable Development Goals (lead author Dr Nowella Anyango-van Zwieten)
• For policymakers in Kenya: The case for stronger alignment of actors and efforts for effective SDG governance in Kenya (lead author Dr Eric Magale)
• For policymakers in Uganda: How can alignment mechanisms be strengthened to enhance the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? A case of the WEFH nexus in Uganda (lead author Dr James Muleme)
• For policymakers in Ethiopia: Why Are Alignment Mechanisms Key for SDG Success? Lessons from Ethiopia’s Landscape and Forest Restoration Initiatives (Dr Desalegn A. Gugissa)
