Driving Positive Attitudes towards Evidence Use

Driving Positive Attitudes towards Evidence Use
Abstract: This infographic presents some of the findings and recommendations on messaging from the report, "Strategies to Increase Endorsement of Evaluation Use: Insights from South Africa."

Literature and D4I’s primary research have identified multiple barriers to the use of evidence, including the use of evaluation findings from USAID’s global health programs. Evidence based on qualitative research often faces additional skepticism, with some decision makers prioritizing quantitative evidence over qualitative because they view it as more credible and objective.

Precisely because so many factors impact the perception of research, modifying the presentation and framing of information regarding research, including evaluations, may be an effective tactic for increasing evidence use.
