Policy making and legislation

We work with legislative offices, ministries and local governments on the policies and measures they need: from defining the problem and gathering evidence to drafting, consultation, review and monitoring once a policy is in force.

When to call us

Offices usually call us in situations like these.

  • a problem needs a policy answer, and the options have not been weighed
  • a bill, resolution, ordinance or executive issuance has to be drafted or reviewed
  • the legal basis for a measure has to be traced and checked
  • staff need a shared standard for policy papers and legislative briefers

What we facilitate

  • Problem definition, evidence, options and the recommended course, with its legal basis, budget and plan for implementation.

  • Bills and resolutions from the directive to the filed measure, with research, consultation and quality review along the way.

  • The mandate and the laws that govern a measure, traced through the Bangsamoro legal hierarchy and verified.

  • Legislative and budget briefers, comparisons of texts and amendments, and preparation for hearings.

What you receive

Each output is drafted with your team and reviewed before it goes forward.

  • a policy recommendation in a four-part structure: context and rationale, policy framework, implementation and management
  • draft bills, resolutions or issuances with a quality review
  • a legal mandate matrix or comparative matrix for the measure
  • briefers your principals can act on

How it runs

  1. Define

    We agree the problem, the decision needed and the people to consult.

  2. Research

    We gather the evidence and trace the legal basis with your team.

  3. Draft and consult

    Options and drafts are worked through in sessions with the people affected.

  4. Review and hand over

    Each draft passes a quality review before it goes to your principals for approval.

Grounded in our guidebooks

The method draws on our guidebooks on policy recommendations, bill drafting, legal research and AI in legislative work.
