Ammar Malik, Director of EPoD Research and Charlotte Tuminelli, senior training manager will explore how to harness data for effective policy design.

This session will present Evidence for Policy Design’s (EPoD’s) Smart Policy Design and Implementation (SPDI) framework, which is a collaborative, iterative, and evidence-based approach to solving pressing problems. We will examine a policy-research collaboration which applied SPDI in the “real world,” demonstrating how theory and data can inform the diagnosis of a challenge’s underlying causes – thus leading to more evidence-based solutions.
