A ground-level intervention can have a larger impact if scaled through policy change.

 

Policy gaps and poor execution of policy create barriers to achieving social impact. Minority groups and people living in hard-to-reach areas often remain excluded from the benefits of policies. Systemic change requires close collaboration between government, private sector and civil society institutions.

We scale BRAC’s impact through policy reform. We have a three-pronged approach: a) proactively advocate for strategic public policy reform in cross-cutting areas b) facilitate policy interventions by programme units, and c) design tools for effective person-to-person advocacy. We do evidence-based policy analysis, build coalitions of the willing, facilitate public discourse, and offer policy alternatives to relevant agencies.
