Introduction to cost-benefit analysis

All policy and program officers face the challenge of determining which possible policy solution generates the best result for society. How we go about deciding which policy is ideal is done through a cost-benefit analysis that compares the all available choices. Our Introduction to cost-benefit analysis workshop provides officers with the insights to evaluate or develop a cost-benefit analysis effectively. Participants work through scenarios to apply new concepts and develop valuable, realistic and sound hypothetical solutions.

Advanced policy skills

In Advanced policy skills, Ethos CRS uses case studies to explore uncertainty and risk and what they mean for the ordered or ideal process of policy development. We look at coordination with other government departments, consultation with stakeholders and how to build evaluation methods into policy design. As a component of implementation and evaluation we provide insights on the role the media has in assisting us to communicate complex policy messages.
