Expertise
Problem Identification
We provide a clear scope of the problem, why it requires attention, and identify the causes and contributing factors. We also assess the type of policy options that are available given the legal and regulatory framework, including a landscape assessment of public perception and key stakeholders.
Policy Research
We want to understand the policies, programs and services that are currently available and how these decisions are impacting communities. In addition to learning what has worked well, it is also important to understand what has not worked and why including limitations and barriers.
Policy Development
We identify evidence-based solutions that are most likely to be effective in addressing your identified problem. We identify the best solution for your organization by assessing each solution according to evaluation criteria and considering intended and unintended policy consequences.
Policy Evaluation
We assess the impact of policies, programs, and services across geographies, demographics and eligibility criteria with a focus on measuring the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and impact. We can do this retrospectively for existing policies or prospectively for proposed policies.
Policy Advocacy
We develop strategies to elevate awareness of policy solutions by partnering with stakeholders, engaging with media, and prepare one-page policy briefs, infographics and other visual aids to facilitate conversations with decision-makers.
