The Promise of Evidence-Based Policymaking

September 7, 2017

The American people want a government that functions efciently and responsibly addresses the problems that face this country. Policymakers must have good information on which to base their decisions about improving the viability and efectiveness of government programs and policies. Today, too little evidence is produced to meet this need. Te Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking (the “Commission”) envisions a future in which rigorous evidence is created efciently, as a routine part of government operations, and used to construct efective public policy. Te Federal government has already taken important steps towards accomplishing this vision, but much work remains. Te growing interest in producing more and higher-quality evidence to support decision-making led the Congress and the President to enact the Evidence-Based Policymaking Commission Act of 2016, creating the Commission.
