Governments should provide data on quality of public service provision, but often don’t.

Having @monicambravo as a colleague is a great perk of @CEMFINews. With her appointment to lead Spain's social inclusion policies, Mónica goes from informing policy with RCTs to making informed decisions herself, a big step towards evidence-based policies & effective inclusion https://t.co/EZ603...
