Research Evidence into Policy (REAP)

Research Evidence into Policy (REAP) is a process that helps decision-makers use scientific research and data to shape fair, effective policies. It involves gathering relevant evidence, analyzing its implications, and communicating findings clearly, so policies are based on reliable information rather than assumptions. REAP aims to improve decision-making by ensuring policies reflect the best available knowledge, leading to better outcomes for communities and society. It promotes a systematic approach to linking research with practical policies, fostering informed choices that address real-world challenges.
