This paper, authored by CSSP Senior Fellow Lisbeth (Lee) Schorr and Director Frank Farrow, was written for discussion at the Harold Richman Public Policy Symposium, the first in a series of forums honoring the memory of one of CSSP’s co-founders. It provides recommendations related to expanding the knowledge base necessary to improve outcomes and outlines how results-based management and learning can generate new evidence from complex community and system change efforts.
