This toolkit offers guidance, tools and best practices to improve the transparent use of evidence in policy-making. It also contains solutions to pursue on how government systems, structures and resources can implement evidence-informed and transparent policymaking to its fullest potential.

The toolkit is a part of a three-year project which sought to evaluate the transparency of evidence usage in government policy-making across the Canadian federation. This toolkit is informed by resources from governments around the world, not-for-profit organizations, and international organizations. 

The toolkit is intended primarily for policymakers in Canada, but non-government stakeholders, and policymakers from various jurisdictions can benefit it, which includes resources compiled from around the world and showcases diverse approaches to policymaking.
