The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) has entered into a three-year partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies on its new What Works Cities initiative. The $42 million project endeavors to build on existing innovation at the city-level by helping mayors and local leaders use data and evidence to engage the public, make government more effective and improve people’s lives. What Works Cities is the latest initiative from Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Government Innovation portfolio, which promotes public sector innovation and spreads effective ideas amongst cities around the world. BIT will be one of a group of partners providing technical support and advice to cities as they enhance how they use data and evidence to make decisions. BIT will help cities conduct real-time, low-cost program evaluations to continually improve city services. |
