A robust and evidence-based approach to public policy is essential to good government. This booklet covers a collection of tools commonly used in evidence-based policymaking and explains how they can strengthen policy design and decision-making, from broad, cross-cutting policy measures to operational interventions which contribute to larger policy objectives. Examples from Singapore and other countries are featured to illustrate key learning points.
