Good research often fails to influence policy because it is not written for the people who make decisions. This workshop teaches the craft of the policy brief: choosing the question, putting the conclusion first, presenting evidence clearly and making recommendations that are specific and feasible.

You will

  • analyse examples of effective and ineffective briefs
  • learn a simple structure that works for most briefs
  • draft a brief on a topic of your choice
  • receive feedback from the facilitator and other participants

Participants should bring a laptop and a topic, ideally based on their own research or work.
