What is a Call for Evidence?
A Call for Evidence is an “an invitation for evidentiary input from a variety of experts, relevant organisations and stakeholders on a given issue.”
Calls for Evidence are used widely by governments, regulatory bodies, and public sector organisations to gather information and key insights from stakeholders and experts.
A Call for Evidence usually seeks depth rather than breadth, encouraging respondents to submit data sets, research papers, case studies, technical reports, or detailed statements. This is particularly useful where decisions have significant social, economic, or environmental implications.
