Hi all,

How can we use evidence to improve programs and projects? An American
Evaluation Association (AEA) survey found that more than two thirds of
evaluation results do not get used. Simply reiterating our conclusions-only
this time louder and more slowly-isn't an effective strategy to get more
evidence used in policy decisions.

In this week's blog post, my colleague Andra Ventimiglia presents some
tangible steps that we can take to improve the chances that results inform
decisions. The steps are explicitly articulated for program evaluators, but
they provide valuable insight into evidence-for-policy more generally.

Thanks to everyone for ongoing support and discussion of this work,
