Objective(s): train professionals who seek to deepen their knowledge of public policies with a solid microeconomic and quantitative foundation for the design, monitoring and evaluation of public policies. The program is the result of a partnership with the Center for Learning in Evaluation and Results for Lusophone Africa and Brazil (CLEAR) at FGV EESP, which belongs to an international network of academic institutions supported by the Global Evaluation Initiative, with a focus on promoting evidence-based public policies.

Objective(s): reward public policies that stand out for their use of scientifically based evidence.

Scope: eligible public policies must be (i) either be in progress or completed in the last 24 months, (ii) implemented in Brazil.

Objective(s): reward policies/ programs that promote social mobility and reduce inequality of opportunity through the use of systematized information and application of scientific knowledge.

Scope: eligible public policies/ programs must be (i) either be in progress or completed in the last 24 months, (ii) implemented in Brazil.
