Yet, cross-jurisdictional evidence tends to show that systems in place in these policy shops generally do not reflect the rigour that is needed to analyse and render quality policy advice.  As one possible remedy, this paper suggests that use of rigorous evidence-based analysis (EBA) to inform the policy advice function be made an integral part of the policy shops' learning and information protocol.  EBA is a useful tool in assisting the agencies to demonstrate their adherence to a quality assurance system. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aAustralian Journal of Public Administration  a53919  c53919d53919  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 61, Issue no: 3pAR54364r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
