Evidence-Informed Policymaking and Public Accountability Act Policy Idea: This policy propo

This policy proposes the enactment of a law requiring public institutions in Nigeria to base major policy decisions on the best available evidence, including credible research, reliable data, and lessons from previous interventions. The law would mandate evidence assessment before policy adoption, transparent justification of decisions, and regular monitoring and evaluation to measure policy effectiveness. The goal is to reduce policy failures, improve the use of public resources, strengthen accountability, and ensure that government decisions are informed by evidence rather than unsupported opinions or assumptions.
