The art and science of promoting evidence-informed decision-making: a global living evidence map
30 September 2024

The WHO and the Pan-African Collective for Evidence (PACE) have developed an evidence map on what works in supporting evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM). The map organizes the existing research on interventions that aid decision-makers in using evidence, and examining the scope and nature of the available evidence.
Using data and evidence to inform decision-making processes is critical to ensure that policies, programs, and practices are as effective as possible. Various strategies have been employed to enhance EIDM, such as building the capacity of decision-makers, creating platforms that facilitate access to evidence, and fostering communities of practice.
