Impact assessment


Systematically understanding what are the available options, respective impacts, and possible trade-offs allows policymakers and businesses to make better decisions. At the same time, sustainable and inclusive growth requires an understanding of how different stakeholders are impacted by specific options.

TPH offers economic, social, human rights, and environmental analyses of trade and investment arrangements and agreements, including inter alia the use of qualitative and quantitative approaches. These assessments can focus on unilateral, bilateral, plurilateral, multilateral, or sectoral initiatives.  


Step 1: Listen and Transform

Once you fill in our objectives checklist (add link to download), we share a succinct proposal outlining the methodology and structure of the report.

Over one video conference we transform the outline into a plan to help you deliver on your goals and communicate your message to internal and external audiences.


Step 2: 
Chart and Map

We situate your challenges within the academic literature through desk research and share an evidence review with clear action points. 


Step 3:
 Enrich and Triangulate

We take the analysis further by filling evidence gaps and enriching existing data through primary and secondary analysis. Based on your needs and the available data, we utilize surveys, interviews, focus groups, and roundtables to deepen our understanding. Using the newly collected evidence, we analyse the action points and quality assure our findings. 


Step 4: 
Present and Elevate

We take you and your specific audience(s) on a journey from where we started to where we arrived, building and presenting a strong narrative tailored to specific stakeholder groups. 


Step 5: Mitigate and Monitor

We rank priority impacts and identify mitigating measures for your and partner organisations.

We can put together a plan to monitor implementation and enforcement across key indicators.
