Module 1: Foundation of Policy-Making and Evidence use

Module 1 of the EIPM training course seeks to enable learners to gain an in-depth understanding of the public policy-making process. Specifically, the module builds knowledge and appreciation of the complexity of decision-making in public policy and programming, underscoring the fact that evidence has to compete with many factors to inform policy or program decisions. The module facilitates in-depth discussion of the wide range of actors and factors that influence public policy decisions and the facilitators and barriers to evidence use in these decisions. The module concludes with building learners skills in defining clear policy questions that require evidence.
