The Policy Practice and ODI are delighted to announce the opportunity to undertake our Political Economy Analysis
in Action training course. The training is based on the flagship course we have provided over 60 times both online and face-to-face since 2008 for multilateral
and bilateral organisations, international think-tanks and NGOs.
The course is delivered by
Alex Duncan
(Policy Practice),
Ed Laws (ODI), Gareth
Williams (Policy Practice), Laure-Hélène
Piron
(Policy Practice), Neil McCulloch
(Policy Practice) and
Tim
Kelsall
(ODI). It is facilitated by
Samantha Wade (Policy Practice).
What is the course and who is it for?
Political economy analysis (PEA) is about understanding the contexts - global, national, sectoral and local - in which
development and foreign policy happen and the incentives that determine how the relevant actors behave and interact with each other.
The course is designed to equip participants to identify the challenges arising from political economy features of the contexts in which they work, and to draw well-grounded conclusions for policy, strategy, or programme design and implementation.
By the end of the course, participants will understand:
- What political economy analysis (PEA) is, and the different operational contexts in which it has a role;
- How it can be used to improve foreign and development policies and engagement;
- What tools and frameworks are available for PEA and how they can be applied.

The online training comprises 10 interactive sessions spread over 17 weeks, with 3 reading weeks. We estimate that 40+ hours are needed to complete the course, or about 4 hours per week.

The course will change the way you think and work on development, humanitarian support or foreign policy. In a recent survey of alumni participants, over 90% of respondents said that the course
had changed the way they thought about their work in development, humanitarian support or foreign policy- and a majority of respondents reported that they had changed the design or implementation of policies, programmes or projects as a result of applying
ideas learned on the course.
