The political economy of energy transitions in Ghana, Zambia and Vietnam - Policy Brief 17
In 2023, The Policy Practice and its local partners conducted political economy analyses (PEAs) in Ghana, Zambia, and Vietnam to understand context-specific challenges and opportunities for the clean energy and transport transitions.
Written by Sam Bickersteth with Neil McCulloch and Meron Tesfamichael, this policy brief draws out some of the common constraints hindering the energy transition in these, and many other, countries in the Global South. It also shows how PEA can help to identify politically feasible pathways of change in each country demonstrating the importance of PEA as an essential tool to understand energy transition.

Media support: aid funding does not match donor rhetoric
Laure-Hélène Piron (TPP Director) presented her analysis of official development assistance to media and the information environment to the Governance Network of the OECD Development Assistance Committee on 6 March 2024.
The draft report shows that the rhetoric of governments which support freedom of expression and condemn disinformation is not matched by sufficient funding. And too little directly goes to local media organisations.
