Policy Analysts' ToolBox
This course is designed for policy analysts, program officers, and subject-matter experts of the ES/PM-2 to ES/PM-7 levels or equivalent and for managers. New recruits or seasoned policy analysts will all benefit from this workshop. It is recommended that participants with less than two years of policy or programme experience first take Policy and Regs 101.
Designed with both policy analysts and subject-matter experts in mind, this workshop will provide you with some effective tools that will help them to formulate good public policy. You will learn how to identify a clear problem and set realizable objectives; how to analyze problems and their solutions and how to assess and identify the best options.
- Identifying the causes of a problem
- Behavioural and environmental profiling
- Identifying and evaluating a full range of policy instruments
- Reviewing alternative forms of regulation (when applicable to the group)
- Benefit-cost screening
- Creating a logic model
- Assessing consequences and tradeoffs
This workshop will maximize the amount of hands-on learning through the use of lecturettes, discussion, videos, case studies and group work.
