The UK government has set out its stall with mission-led policy creation. Succinct? Yes. But successful? Only a solid approach with evaluation will tell.
Evaluation is critical for evidence-led policy. Which, as it happens, is a core part of Frontier’s expertise.
With the current UK government’s missions likely to define policy for the coming years, we know the key to these make-or-break decisions is to start with a solid approach to evaluation.
Our work with government clients in the UK and Europe helps to design evaluation frameworks and deliver process, impact and value for money evaluations. We are experts in theory-based and counterfactual methods and work with a range of partners to design bespoke evaluation solutions to meet complex needs. We work closely with clients to ensure that evaluation evidence is also used to support policy appraisal and design.
