The Coalition For Evidence-Based Policy
The Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that advocates that the use of evidence-based policy increases the effectiveness of policy. The coalition believes that evidence-based policy needs to be used in more areas of social policy domains other than medicine, such as education, poverty reduction, and crime prevention with the hope that more effective policy will lead to the saving of billions of dollars.

Famous quotes containing the word policy:
“Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,—that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,—who is invariably the devil,—and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,—who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
