OECD evidence-system bottlenecks: a scenario quiz
A ministry is trying to improve a youth programme, but staff have not checked what evidence already exists or where the gaps are before deciding what to commission. Which bottleneck is this?
Difficulty: EasyA policy team receives a research brief and must judge whether the findings fit its context, but members do not ask about provenance, reliability, appropriateness, context, assumptions, or bias. Which bottleneck is this?
Difficulty: MediumA department has commissioned several studies over time, but it does not keep a database of commissioned research and cannot tell how evaluation evidence has been used in decisions. Which bottleneck is this?
Difficulty: MediumResearchers say scientific knowledge is plentiful, yet ministries still struggle to turn it into a policy request because links between research and policy communities are weak. Which bottleneck is this?
