@scientistsorg @ElizabethLinos @annalilharvey @EvanBWhite 🤝Why focus on these partnerships? They boost governments' ability to conduct rigorous evaluations and implement evidence-based programs. Anchoring reforms in solid evaluation practices helps effectively use federal funds and drives innovation in essential services. 2/3
