APPROACH: THINKING & WORKING POLITICALLY (TWP)

Thinking and working politically (TWP) encourages active understanding of context in an ongoing way. It promotes programs that align with domestic momentum to generate reform and are willing to work with partners to help navigate political obstacles. Practitioners build coalitions, frame issues, and shift incentives so that actors change their behavior in ways that unblock or enhance development results. They keep their finger on the pulse of how the politics around a result are shifting and adjust their programming to new opportunities and knowledge. Download the full report for findings, conclusions and recommendations.
