Policy analysis

I support public sector organisations at different stages of the policy cycle:

before policy is designed, by exploring and developing options

before policy is finalized, by estimating the likely impacts of selected options

during policy implementation, by developing monitoring tools, guidance and training

during and after policy implementation, by evaluating process and impact

I work with the European Commission's Better Regulation guidelines and the UK's guidance on evaluations (Magenta book). I also use innovative methods for complex evaluations and state of the art policy analysis frameworks.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

I have led the EU and UK food and regulatory policy work at international consultancy ICF for 4 and half years.

I am a Fellow of CECAN (the Centre for Evaluation of Complexity Across the Nexus), which promotes innovative policy evaluation approaches in the UK.

I have led and contributed to policy evaluations and impact assessments. I have conducted and coordinated pan-EU surveys, pan-EU interview campaigns, focus groups, case studies, comparative studies, field visits, webinars.
