Global Evidence Report: A blueprint for better international collaboration on evidence

9 Sep 2024

This report is a comprehensive examination of the current state and future recommendations for the global evidence ecosystem. Focusing on the U.S., UK, Australia, and Canada, it outlines the need for better evidence-informed public policies across several sectors, such as education, health, and criminal justice. The report emphasizes the uneven investment in evidence generation, with healthcare and defense receiving the most funding, while other areas such as education and social protection lag behind. Key challenges include the slow production of high-quality evidence, its lack of relevance to pressing policy needs, and barriers to adoption by policymakers. The report calls for increased international collaboration to address these challenges and proposes several strategic initiatives. These include the establishment of a Shared Evaluation Fund to support cross-national evaluations of promising interventions and recommendations for more streamlined reporting protocols to facilitate the sharing of policy-relevant research. By leveraging collective resources, the report argues that countries can close evidence gaps, reduce research waste, and improve public service delivery globally.
