Public Policy Analysis sessions delivered in Anaklia for GoARA Senior Management

PMCG, as part of the USAID program Good Governance in Georgia (G3), is in the process of improving the capacity of GoARA senior management in M&E, strategic planning and public policy analysis. Two training sessions in public policy analysis were delivered in Anaklia, Georgia, on 22-24 November.

A three-day training module in public policy analysis, which aimed to provide participants with both a conceptual framework and practical experience in analyzing public policies, was attended by the senior management of GoARA and a G3 representitive. The course covered a variety of topics related to both the substance and methods of policy analysis. The goal of this course was to understand real-world policymaking and how to accommodate policy analysis.

The training session was interactive as the participants were actively involved in discussions and successfully implemented their assignments. A number of group works and simulations were carried out by participants thereby giving them a better understanding of public policy analysis related topics. The results of the pre- and post-test demonstrated that the knowledge and competence of the trainees had increased as a result of the course.
