Strengthening Evidence-Based Policy

Translating evidence into outcomes

Governments are trying to improve outcomes for people. However, problems are complex and finding the right solutions can be challenging.

Evidence is the key to improving outcomes. We need evidence to define the problem, we need evidence to find the solution and we also need evidence about the outcomes.

However, while evidence is vital, evidence-based policy making is not something we do as well as we should.

This conference will help policy practitioners improve their skills in this area.

It will cover:
Examples of best practice in evidence based policy making
Policy failures and what they can teach us about evidence-based policy
Ensuring evidence leads to better outcomes
Making the most of evaluation evidence
Using evidence to improve implementation
Overcoming challenges associated with evidence based policy making

Who will attend:
Senior representatives of Commonwealth, State and Local Government as well as the NGO and private sector with responsibility for:
Policy
Programs
Projects
Evaluation
Research
Performance

There was an excellent diversity of speakers presenting issues directly relating to my work.
