STG-MA-B01-23

Description

Policymakers tend to be pressed for time and receive too much information from many different quarters. Those who want their arguments to be seen and to influence policy must learn how to communicate their ideas for policy change or important data and key messages as clearly as possible not only to the ministerial / cabinet level but also to other opinion leaders and the educated lay public. In this 1-day skills-building workshop, MTnG students will be introduced to the problems and pitfalls of writing for decision makers but also the learn the value of this kind of communication. The workshop will address a number of themes: 

• Bridging Research and Policy  

• Different types of policy writing and targeted audiences  

• How to structure and deliver a policy paper, write an executive summary and formulate recommendations vis-à-vis policymakers.
