Policy brief is essential tool for translating complex research into actionable recommendations. Yet many well-intentioned briefs go unread because they lack clarity, structure, or relevance to the audience.
Here are a few key tips to ensure your next policy brief makes an impact:
1. Know your audience
Tailor your tone, language, and recommendations to policymakers, not academics.
2. Lead with the problem
Start with a clear statement of the issue and why it matters.
3. Use evidence smartly
Present only the most relevant data—concise, credible, and visually clear.
4. Offer practical solutions
Avoid vague advice. Propose real, implementable recommendations.
5. Keep it short
A strong brief is ideally 2–4 pages, well-structured, and easy to scan.
A well-crafted policy brief not only informs but influences. In today’s fast-paced political environment, clarity and conciseness are more valuable than ever.
