Political Economy Analysis and Adaptive Management Good Practice Note (DFAT 2022)

The purpose of the Political Economy Analysis and Adaptive Management Good Practice Note is to assist DFAT staff to plan, commission, undertake and use political economy analysis and deliver politically-informed investments and policy dialogues. This note signposts how staff can integrate such analysis into the development management cycle, as an ongoing iterative process. Understanding the political contexts in which we work is critical to informing DFAT’s policy work and improving development effectiveness.
