Our approach

We measure our work by the decisions it informs, and we build it so that governments can carry it on without us.

We start from the decision

Every engagement begins by identifying the policy or budget decision the analysis must inform, who makes it, and when.

We make our models transparent

Assumptions are documented, models are handed over, and counterparts can rerun and update the analysis without us.

Four commitments behind every engagement

We work with named counterparts

Each engagement has government counterparts and clear milestones for transferring the work to them.

We track what changes

For each country, we record which decisions our work was meant to inform and report on what actually happened.
