Sustainability as a global goal cannot be achieved without effective policies supporting it. The current trend in policy-making has two main pillars, policies are a) co-created with citizens and other relevant stakeholders and b) data-based to take informed decisions. Information technologies are needed to support these pillars and facilitate evidence-based policy-making. We present the DECIDO Portal that acts as a catalyst towards putting these general principles into practice gathering the technical components to be used within the whole policy life cycle. Notably, the portal lays its foundations on a well-defined co-creation methodology that can be seamlessly followed from a unique portal and provides best-practices for participatory processes and data-driven analyses. A set of real-world experimental policies in different countries serves as case studies to showcase and discuss the usage of the portal. %~
