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.

Is it just about the numbers?
“Businesses don’t run
on numbers, they run
on responses to
numbers”
