The Center for Rapid Evidence Synthesis (ACRES) is a Non-Governmental Research Organization based in Kampala, Uganda, whose core work involves supporting policy and decision-makers at regional, national and district levels in sectors including health, education, gender, youth and renewable energy to strengthen access to accurate and timely evidence for policies and decisions.

The Center builds on work that was begun in 2010 at the College of Health Sciences at Makerere University with an aim of supporting policy and decision making with high quality, relevant and timely evidence.
