Hi all,
<br>
<br>How can we use evidence to improve programs and projects? An American
<br>Evaluation Association (AEA) survey found that more than two thirds of
<br>evaluation results do not get used. Simply reiterating our conclusions-only
<br>this time louder and more slowly-isn't an effective strategy to get more
<br>evidence used in policy decisions.
<br>
<br>In this week's blog post, my colleague Andra Ventimiglia presents some
<br>tangible steps that we can take to improve the chances that results inform
<br>decisions. The steps are explicitly articulated for program evaluators, but
<br>they provide valuable insight into evidence-for-policy more generally.
<br>
