Policy Practice Projects
We support positive change across low- and middle-income countries. We undertake political economy analysis, strategic and policy work, and operational research. We lead programme designs, reviews, and evaluations. We advise programmes and organisations how to ‘think and work politically’.
We also run a flagship training course on political economy analysis.

This political economy analysis, led by TPP Principal Olly Owen with TPP Associate Sa'eed Husaini, looked at the drivers of policy and factors affecting implementation around climate and environment issues in Nigeria.
The team, led by Gareth Williams, TPP Director, and lead researcher Theodore Trefon, undertook a political economy analysis (PEA) as part of the on-going Demographic Diagnostics Commission. The PEA built on DFID’s understanding of historical legacies, political interests and DFID’s room for manoeuvre in the contexts in which DFID is working.
While in Timor-Leste, Laure-Hélène Piron provided assistance to The Asia Foundation's Tourism Team to develop their own capacity to ‘think and work politically’. She facilitated a participative process for the team to undertake a political economy analysis of tourism opportunities at the international, national and local levels, and to adopt an adaptive management approach.
