Resumen

This study addresses evidence-based public management as a key approach to optimize decision-making in regional contexts, with emphasis on the Junín region, Peru. The aim of the study was to analyze how the implementation of evidence-based models contributes to informed decision-making in public management in Junín. A quantitative, exploratory and descriptive methodological design was used, with the application of a structured survey to 165 participants. The survey assessed five key dimensions: knowledge, perception, applicability, limitations and expected results of evidence-based models. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, which allowed identifying significant trends and correlations. The results revealed that, although officials have moderate knowledge about evidence-based models, their implementation faces barriers such as insufficient technological infrastructure, lack of technical training and organizational resistance. However, there was broad recognition of their usefulness in improving operational efficiency and transparency in public management. The need for technological investments, training programmes and committed institutional leadership to encourage the adoption of these approaches is highlighted.
