Through a participative, multidisciplinary and theoretical-practical approach, this workshop pursued three main goals:

• To exchange knowledge, practical experiences, tools and methodologies about evidence based policy influence.
• To develop possible regional and national strategies to facilitate the application and sharing of this knowledge on and with other public policy oriented organisations.
• To strengthen the development of a network of organisations that wish to carry out and support the development of skills for more effective evidence based policy influence.

Therefore, participants representing 13 CSOs from different Latin American countries exchanged knowledge, practical experiences, tools and methodologies related to policy influence. They also developed potential national and regional strategies to share this knowledge with other members of the Latin American network within the Civil Society Partnerships Programme.
