Understanding Options for Politically Informed Context Analysis
sithandiwe mujuru
Dear All,
We are pleased to share Laure-Hélène Piron’s new Practical Guidance Note: “Understanding Options for Politically Informed Contexts.” This note was published by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), in collaboration with the Thinking and Working Politically Community of Practice and The Policy Practice.
The note is for use alongside the FCDO-TWP CoP guide to political economy analysis (PEA) and thinking and working politically and is part of a series of technical notes on the use of PEA in practice. It explains the range of frameworks for context analysis which can be used in international co-operation, and how to select the most appropriate one, and the different ways in which analysis can be undertaken.
The note highlights the importance of incorporating a politically informed perspective, regardless of the framework used, to better understand “why things are the way they are” and to make operationally relevant recommendations.
This is a valuable resource for anyone designing, implementing, or adapting programmes in politically informed ways.

Feel free to share this with your networks.
Best regards,
Thandie
