Evidence-Based Policymaking (EBP) is a collaborative process that integrates research findings, program evaluation and other evidence with the experiences of policymakers, practitioners, stakeholders and the public to inform decision-making. EBP is a problem-solving approach which promotes the use of empirical evidence to allocate resources, design policies and programs, and make informed decisions about how to bring about positive social change. EBP is an iterative and ongoing process that involves planning, implementation, and evaluation. EBP can be used to inform policymaking in any sector, including healthcare, education, criminal justice, and social welfare.
