This practical workshop helps you develop a strategic, responsible approach to policy engagement. You will set clear objectives, map and prioritize key external participants using the 3i (interest, influence, impact) framework, and learn how to adapt to ‘policy windows’ when they arise. You will also explore risk management and ways to balance policy work with other commitments.

Realistic goals for policy, evidence use and impact.
An agile approach to respond to policy opportunities.
