The Evidence Act staff of the Office of the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs sponsors events to engage Department staff and external stakeholders (academics, non-profits, other agencies, state and local government) with using and improving the Department’s data for evidence building and evidence/evaluation projects. The events include: Opportunity Project events sponsored by the OUSEA; training events; facilitated focus groups; data labs; stakeholder outreach events; events to discuss specific projects and data accessibility. This measure reports the number of individuals who participated in these events. It is a new measure and baseline data will not be available until the end of FY 23.
