Introduction
Objective
Who should attend
In a world where public decisions can have far-reaching implications, the ability to analyse, design, and convey good policies is more important than ever. Professionals are equipped with the tools necessary to move beyond the realm of opinion and intuition and into the realm of systematic, evidence-based policy thinking through the Public Policy Evaluation and Analysis course offered by LPC Training.
Over five comprehensive days, participants will investigate how market failures, institutional constraints, political incentives, and stakeholder dynamics influence the formation of policies in the real world. Through the lens of economics, game theory, governance models, and impact evaluation approaches, you will acquire the ability to analyse trade-offs, quantify outcomes, and offer solutions that are based on data rather than just principles.
You will also acquire practical skills in data visualisation and communication tactics, which will allow your insights to not only be contained within reports but also to reach decision-makers and have an impact on them.
