Abstract

Traditional way of policymaking process –top-down approach- is thought to be less effective as this hardly consults with the pertinent stakeholders who are the mainly implementers and beneficiaries. In order to address the shortcomings of that approach, policy scientists advocate undertaking such policies, which are based on data, value-driven and people-centric. This process is called evidence-informed policy making (EIPM). This study analyzes EIPM process how effectively it works and why it brings benefits to the citizen. It is found that because of scientific procedure, bottom-up approach, consultation and involvement of diverse stakeholders, research-driven data, the EIPM yields positive results. Any public policy taken following the EIPM process is found environmentally fit, administratively workable, politically and socially acceptable, and economically and financially viable.
