Description¶

This strategy, drawn from the report's literature review, addresses barriers to evidence use in government decision-making by improving relationships between those who produce research evidence and those who use it, and by building organizational capacity and infrastructure. The review found it involves "improving relationships between evidence producers and decision-makers and establishing capacity for staff and an infrastructure in government for accessing relevant research." It responds to the identified misalignment between research conducted and evidence needed for decisions.
