Policy and public sector advisory

What it covers

Policy analysis, design, and options appraisal
Regulatory and legal-framework advisory
Public financial management and fiscal analysis
Sector reform design and reform sequencing
Government-to-government engagement and coordination

Typical engagements

We model the fiscal and economic impact of a proposed reform, and translate the analysis into decision-ready policy options.
We assess investment climate and regulatory constraints in a sector, then set out what to change and in what order.
We map financing sources and sustainability risk for national programmes, and propose financing strategy to underpin them.
We support inter-ministerial and G2G coordination where a reform depends on more than one institution acting together.
