PDP provides assistance across four broad technical areas: governance and public management, economic policy, social policy and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Select main category or sub-category for details of our expertise in each of these areas.
PDP helps governments to reduce uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment by improving macroeconomic policy analysis and accelerating policy and institutional reform. Our experience in macroeconomic policy leads us to believe that in order for governments to maintain stable and effective macroeconomic frameworks, systems should be developed and employed that encourage a vibrant and dynamic business environment, promote domestic and foreign investment and fairly distribute the benefits of growth. By establishing macro policy within a consistent, stable and transparent macroeconomic framework, governments can better plan for and deal with volatile exchange rates, confront high interest rates and tackle excessive inflation. Stability in the macroeconomic environment also reduces investment uncertainties, boosts business confidence and potentially reduces the cost of conducting business, thereby invigorating economic growth by stimulating entrepreneurial and investment activities.
