呼吁以证据为基础的政策往往未能认识到政策制定的根本政治性质。面对相互竞争的优先事项和政治议程，政策制定者必须识别、评估和利用证据来解决政策问题。证据应该提供信息，但不能决定政策选择。本文以“善治”理论为基础，建立了一个分析和评估循证决策过程的框架。“良好治理”要求使用适当的高质量证据来为政策提供信息，并促进决策过程透明、负责和开放，以供其所治理的民众进行辩论。
Calls for evidence-based policy often fail to recognise the fundamentally political nature of policy making. Policy makers must identify, evaluate and utilise evidence to solve policy problems in the face of competing priorities and political agendas. Evidence should inform but cannot determine policy choices. This paper draws on theories of 'good governance' to develop a framework for analysing and evaluating processes of evidence-informed policy making. 'Good governance' requires the use of appropriate bodies of high-quality evidence to inform policy and promotes decision-making processes that are transparent, accountable and open to contestation by the populations they govern.
