Title: Evidence-Based Decision Making in Indigenous Communities

Description: Indigenous leadership and governance make decisions that affect the entire community, so it's important they have a sound process for making important choices. Evidence-based decision-making is an approach that prompts governance and leadership to use quantitative and qualitative data to develop informed plans. If you're considering implementing this approach for Indigenous communities, in this webinar, we define evidence-based decision-making, explain how it works, share why it's important and offer some tips that can help you use this method effectively with and for Indigenous communities.
