Policy & Strategy Analysis
and Development
Translating evidence into actionable policy at the highest levels of government and donor engagement.
We design policies that are politically feasible, technically credible, and built to be implemented, not filed. This combines rigorous systems and political economy analysis with senior advisory and reform design.
The Policy & Strategy Analysis and Development sub-unit combines technical policy expertise with deep systems analysis and institutional knowledge of how African public systems actually work. We understand that a technically correct policy that ignores political economy, institutional capacity, or implementation sequencing is not a policy; it is a document. Every framework, guideline, and reform roadmap we produce is designed to survive in practice.
National Policy Framework and Sector Strategy Development
Design of national policies, sector strategies, and ministerial guidelines, grounded in evidence, aligned with political realities, and structured for implementation rather than decoration.
Political Economy Analysis
Mapping the actors, interests, and institutional dynamics that determine whether reform efforts succeed or stall: essential for any policy initiative operating in complex political environments.
Systems Analysis and Health Systems Analysis
Rigorous analysis of system-level constraints, governance structures, and institutional incentives within health, education, fiscal, and governance systems, providing the analytical foundation for credible reform design.
Reform Roadmaps and Implementation Sequencing
End-to-end design of governance, health, education, and fiscal reform programmes, from situation analysis through reform logic, sequencing, and the political economy considerations that determine survivability.
Public Financial Management Advisory
Advisory on PFM system design, budget analysis, fiscal reform, and intergovernmental fiscal relations, combining technical rigour with deep knowledge of how African public finance systems actually function.
Ministerial and Institutional Advisory
Senior advisory to government ministries, development partners, and institutional clients on reform strategy, regulatory frameworks, and policy architecture, at the level where decisions are made.
Evidence-to-Policy Translation and Donor Programme Design
Converting research findings and analytical outputs into actionable policy guidance and technical input to donor concept notes, proposals, and programme documents, ensuring that design decisions are evidence-based and implementable.
