Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) was founded in April 2009 as a network for scholars and practitioners actively engaged in field experiments on the topics of governance, politics, and institutions. EGAP has grown into a cross-disciplinary network of 155 researchers and practitioners from across the globe, united by a focus on experimental research, and is dedicated to generating and disseminating rigorous evidence on topics of governance, politics, and institutions. We seek to forge partnerships between researchers and practitioners committed to understanding the politics of global development, advance evidence-based policy making, and improve the quality of empirical research in the social sciences.
