Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative
The Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative is a structured approach that uses the best available research and data to guide decisions, especially in public health and policy. It involves identifying problems, reviewing relevant evidence, evaluating options, and implementing solutions that have proven to be effective. The goal is to improve outcomes and ensure resources are used efficiently by relying on factual, trustworthy information rather than assumptions or tradition. EBDM promotes transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in decision processes, ultimately leading to better health and community results.
