ANALYTICAL AND ADVISORY SERVICES

When a new venture is to be started or a sector wide reform is being contemplated, the Causal Links' team of experts conducts analysis of various options and their impacts to supplement policy dialogue and better inform the decision making process.

TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

Causal Links' experts provide training seminars and workshops for both decision-makers as well as staff on a wide-range of topics, spanning education reform, data driven decision methods, banking, public financial management, and beyond.

DATA DRIVEN MODELING AND DECISION-MAKING TOOLS

The models that we develop at Causal Links are based on the results of previous research and experts' field knowledge as well as on our decision-making tools.  Our decision-making tools allow users to assess different decisions based on utility criteria that they themselves identify.  These criteria may include political, economic, and time to completion considerations.  'Causal Links' tools help our clients to analyze the impacts of different policies and better understand the trade-offs of different interventions.

Our Policymakers' Workbench is a knowledge-based software engine that synthesizes a large body of research and experimental studies and uses a probabilistic reasoning methodology to estimate the impact and effectiveness of various policy options. A Workbench tool consists of two main components: (i) a model; and (ii) a computer user interface. The model represents knowledge in the field and is built upon a set of underlying relations or functions. The user interface enables users to analyze the impact of various policies and also to examine the trade-offs among different interventions, taken individually and in various combinations.
