SUMMARY - Representation in Policy and Decision-Making

Policy decisions profoundly affect people's lives, yet those affected often have little role in making them. Representation in policy and decision-making processes—whether affected communities have voice and influence—shapes both process legitimacy and outcome quality. When decisions are made by those distant from their effects, without input from those who know best how policies land, results often miss the mark. Representation isn't just about fairness; it's about making better decisions by including relevant knowledge and perspectives.
