Policy Briefs

A policy brief is written for a reader with little time. In a few pages it states the issue, why it matters now and what should be done, with the key evidence summarised rather than argued at length. Briefs often draw on a longer B.A.P-I study and carry its findings to decision makers in a form they can use at once.
