Data & Evidence

Focuses on research, surveys, and impact measurement. It develops StateLabs’s capacity for data-driven analysis by conducting public opinion surveys, governance assessments, and program evaluations. The lab ensures that StateLabs’s recommendations and interventions are grounded in solid evidence and that their impact can be measured over time. Through the StateLabs approach, the lab blends rigorous research with practical experimentation. Each lab allows the institute to pilot new ideas on a small scale, gather evidence and feedback, and then scale up successful innovations into broader policy recommendations or programs. This method keeps StateLabs’s work modern and accessible, using technology, data, and community input to inform reforms, while maintaining institutional and formal rigor in analysis.
