Policy Evaluation

Data-Informed Policy Evaluation

Policy evaluation plays an invaluable role in equipping policymakers with the right evidence to take forward lessons learned from the past – and enhance the effectiveness and impact of future policy actions. For 40 years we’ve been helping clients to evaluate the impacts and effects of policies at local, national, regional and global levels, all over the world.

By using a data-driven approach, we provide you with independent insights on the impact of social, economic and environmental policies. Whether this involves gathering reliable and accurate data to help you build your supporting evidence base; quantifying the impacts on different stakeholders, industries and sectors; or comparing the impact of policy against a counterfactual where the policy was never implemented – we’re here to help.

Independent Insights

As an independent consultancy, we bring an external perspective and the latest thinking to the most pressing global challenges.

We recognise that no two policy evaluations are the same, so we tailor our approaches to meet your particular needs. These range from applying large-scale macroeconomic models to quantify the impacts of policies in specific areas locally, nationally or globally, to developing theory-of-change based approaches and evaluating policy effectiveness across multiple indicators and metrics.

Working With You

Our professional, technical and independent approach means we’re well-placed to support you in gaining the best insights into the successes and learning points of different policies.

We always employ rigorous data collection methodologies and advanced analytical tools to leverage the best available evidence.
By constructing counterfactual scenarios, we can estimate the impact of a policy by comparing the actual outcomes with what would have occurred if the policy were absent.
As an independent organisation, we provide unbiased evaluations that are free from political influence and vested interests.
We’re experienced in evaluating policy using appropriate tools to deliver high-quality insights within constrained budgets.
We foster collaborative partnerships with academic institutions, research organisations and other stakeholders. This allows us to pool resources and expertise, enhancing the depth of the evaluation.
Our reports are always transparent and comprehensive, presenting the findings of any evaluation clearly and objectively, and therefore enabling you to make informed decisions.
