Ediscussion: From analysis to action

Nathan Associates, with support from BEAM Exchange, invite you to engage with practitioners on conceptual and practical issues around designing interventions. 

The ediscussion will focus on a new topic each week:

• Week 1 (7 March): The balance between analysis and action
  Action (e.g. working with willing partners or making ‘quick wins’) is often prioritised over in-depth market systems analysis when intervening in the market systems. How can the 'right' balance be found?
• Week 2 (14 March): Losing sight of the key role of systemic change?
  We will discuss how programmes can ensure that systemic change is at the core of intervention design, and whether the concept – and how to measure it – are properly understood. We will also ask if it is important for market systems analysis to clearly understand and identify market failures as the underlying system-level constraints.
• Week 3 (21 March): Instruments and intervention design
  This week we will ask what are the best methods to design interventions that fit with the will/skill framework of partners, and ask whether a lack in variety of instruments used is an issue when designing interventions.
