Results for America is an organization that helps decision-makers at all levels of government harness the power of evidence and data to solve our world’s greatest challenges. They are creating standards of excellence, supporting policymakers in implementation and mobilizing champions committed to investing in what works. Results for America created What Works Cities Certification, the first-ever national standard of excellence for data-driven, well-managed local government. The program evaluates whether cities have the right people, processes, and policies in place to put data and evidence at the center of decision-making. As of 2022, 55 cities have achieved this certification.
