The key ambition in our policy work has been to support our partners to produce practical policy advice, communicated in a way that will make them more influential. More specifically, the focus is on supporting policy researchers and advocates to advance their skills in effective research design, policy analysis/writing and advocacy.
The resources on this page have been developed following the practice-driven, accessible and skill development focused approach we use for all resources. They directly support independent learning and also those engaged in our various training workshops and capacity building processes in public policy.
