Calls for data-backed, evidence-based policymaking are on the increase, but does more evidence necessarily lead to better policy? At DARO, we've been focused on how incentives affect evidence use for a long time, and we’re excited to see this great panel, including our colleague and co-conspirator Amy O'Hara from the Massive Data Institute, tackle this topic. We hope to see you there! 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/efUffPmR

We want to say a big thank you to #GoodTechFest for a great conference and for helping us create a memorable launch for DARO. This merger was a long time in the making, and we couldn't have asked for a better audience for the announcement than the inspiring group of "doers" that Andrew brought together. We can't wait for the next one!

Exciting news! Ajah and With Intent Strategies have merged to become DARO. With Intent is a long-time partner of ours. We have worked together for years, most notably on the GivingTuesday Data Commons. We look forward to deepening our collaboration to find new ways to change how the social sector approaches problem-solving and innovation, and providing pragmatic advice and solutions for complex issues. Along with our new name we have a new look! Check out our new website (wearedaro.com) to see our makeover, learn more about our name and see the new additions to the team. We look forward to working with you!
