Evidence-informed policy-making

“Policy decisions do not wait for

excellent information to become

available; decisions will be taken even

where ‘evidence’ is fragmentary and

uncertain”

‘evidence [..] can be improved if

appropriate standards of transparency

and accountability are followed

Brian W. Head (2013) Evidence-Based Policymaking – Speaking Truth

to Power? - Australian Journal of Public Administration, vol. 00, no. 0, pp.

1–7

Is it just about the numbers?

“Businesses don’t run

on numbers, they run

on responses to

numbers”

Bri Williams, New Truths About Numbers, In the Black
