Keywords:
Evidence, Strategic management, StrategyAbstract
Objective: Studying of the strategies in Albania in terms of the implementation of the “evidence based policy” principle. Prior Work: As specialist on strategic planning in INSTAT i have prepared an inventory on evidence based strategies. Approach: The methodology of this study is based on qualitative method, analyzing case by case every strategy in Albania in terms of using statistical data on the building of the priorities. Results: From 16 studied strategies and only 4 of them have described the SWOT analyses based on statistical indicators. The "evidence based policy" principle is not applied and the objectives are raised by political incentives at the macro level and as a result the achievement of the objective is immeasurable. Implication: 1. If the strategies/policies in Albania aim to respond to the needs of Albanian society, then it is expected that they are based on an assessment of needs with measurable statistical indicators. Value: this study offers a clear argument for policy-makers and other stake-holders in importance of the evidence using during the drafting of the strategies in order to build an effective and efficient policy. This is a study that is not elaborated before.
