Lacking Evidence for Evidence-Based Policies

There is not enough evidence to show that evidence leads to better development policies and programming. This ironic conclusion comes from the paper ‘What Have We Learned About Learning?’, by International Development Consultant, Dr. Pablo Yanguas. Dr. Yanguas is our guest this episode, discussing how the development sector’s many investments in M&E, research and knowledge management systems might not have been the best value for money. His conversation partner is Anna Gouwenberg, Senior Learning Advisor at the Department of Stabilization and Humanitarian Aid within the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Together, they will explore what is necessary to make policies more evidence-based and adaptive to new knowledge.
