Project Design for Policy Influence

Understanding the mechanics of policy change enhances a policy entrepreneur's ability to influence policymaking. This knowledge is crucial for designing effective pathways to policy change, monitoring implementation, and drawing lessons from evaluations. Achieving this requires a clear grasp of:

• The problem to be addressed.
• The desired change and results.
• The policy context.
• The application of behavioural science to policy development.

This course guides policy entrepreneurs step-by-step through designing and implementing interventions to effectively influence policy and deliver results. It applies a best-practice approach to intervention design, integrating results-based management principles, behavioural science, and targeted analyses of the unique policy contexts in which policy entrepreneurs operate.
