BCURE is a series of trainings that aim to increase technical skills and motivation for the use of data and evidence. It has been implemented in collaboration with the National School of Public Policy in Pakistan and Evidence for Policy Design (EPoD) at Harvard University. Under the BCURE program, nationwide workshops have been organised in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta. BCURE training has been put to successful use at the Civil Services Academy and the National School of Public Policy in Pakistan since 2014, and the Harvard BCURE program is the first systematic, civil service-wide effort to change the culture of evidence use in the public sector.
The course is designed for policymakers, public agencies and the broader systems of governance.
BCURE employs a blended-learning approach, where participants first complete digital modules individually and then participate in interactive classroom sessions, applying concepts learned through the digital modules to realistic policy challenges in the form of lectures, discussion, and case exercises.
It incorporates 7 digital modules deployed online (i.e. Systematic Approaches to Policy Decisions, Cost Benefit Analysis, Descriptive Evidence, Commissioning Evidence, Aggregating Evidence, Impact Evaluations, and Using Data Systems) followed by in-class lectures and discussions.
Since 2014, Learning Hub has trained
