Our theory of
change in practice.
Crafting good policy is important, but it’s only the beginning. Implementation is where the rubber hits the road, and it’s where a lot of good ideas (and even good policies) fail. We prioritize implementation, knowing the sooner you put your ideas into practice, the sooner you know how they perform in the real world.
Measurement & Evaluation
Leaders need a clear view of how their programs and policies are performing in the real world. This means defining and tracking metrics that matter, and using them to drive routine check-ins. Independent assessments can go a long way in building internal visibility, evidence-based policy, and public trust.
