Project Evident is thrilled to announce the launch of our new book, "Next Generation Evidence: Strategies for More Equitable Social Impact"! Published by Brookings Institution Press, this comprehensive volume presents innovative strategies and insights from leaders across various sectors to improve the way we build and use evidence in service of stronger, more equitable outcomes. "Next Generation Evidence" is about five ideas: centering practitioners and the communities they serve; connecting equity with data and evidence; elevating community voice; embracing a continuous R&D-like approach; and reimagining evidence to broaden its definition and use. “We are living through a moment that requires thinking and acting more boldly to address this country’s deep economic and racial disparities,” said Kelly Fitzsimmons, Project Evident’s Founder and CEO and one of the book’s editors. “These Next Generation ideas can strengthen the use of data, technology, and evidence to accelerate and support learning, improvement, decision making, and ultimately, meaningful impact.” With philanthropic funding from MacKenzie Scott, the digital version of the book is being offered free of charge. “Without investing more resources and attention to building cultures of learning and continuous evidence building among practitioners, we fall short of realizing the promise of the next stage of evidence: to reimagine and rebuild a more equitable society,” said Tamar Bauer, co-editor of the book and a Senior Advisor at Project Evident. “We’re so grateful to MacKenzie Scott, whose generous support enables us to make this resource accessible to all, as well as to our amazing network of authors for sharing their transformative ideas.” Visit our site to learn more about the book and get your copy today! https://lnkd.in/eKAQ5P4C
