Politics is often the hidden determinant of success or failure. Decades of technocracy have typically overlooked power, elites, and their incentives, leading to disappointment, wasted funds and missed opportunity — from infrastructure that fails to catalyse growth, to chronic absenteeism that pulls down public services. Nascent demand for political analysis is met by private consulting (of variable quality), or academic research which is rigorous, but not tailored to policy and slow to emerge.
The PPP seeks to shift the paradigm by delivering open access, quality assured, actionable political economy analysis (PEA) geared to any mainstream policy maker.
The PPP is a sister programme to the Economic Policy Network (EPN).
