Policy, advocacy and institutional reform
Policy analysis, advocacy and influencing, and public-sector institutional reform.
Overview
Lasting change depends on policy that is grounded in evidence and institutions that can carry it out. We support policy analysis, advocacy and influencing, and public-sector institutional reform.
Our lead professionals have supported WASH policy and law, cross-government coordination, financing and workforce arrangements within Imo State, and we help clients move from evidence to policy and from policy to implementation.
Key themes
- Public-sector institutional reform
- Evidence-to-policy and policy influencing
- Financing for sustainable WASH services
