Agricultural Policy

Abt encourages transparent, efficient, accessible, and accountable government that fosters sustainable economic growth. Using a “whole of government” approach, we strengthen critical management systems in key ministries and local government units, promote good governance, and develop human resources.

At the same time, we help agricultural sector stakeholders influence government policies. We train groups—such as producer and trade associations—to analyze and advocate for policies that affect their work.

Abt offers an extensive portfolio of research, analysis, evaluation, and technical assistance services. Our experts work with ministries of agriculture, health, education, and finance—as well as with economic regulatory agencies—to develop high-functioning systems. We also analyze policies and regulations that at once support growth, reflect state needs, and comply with international standards.

Abt’s participatory approach fosters the broad-scale buy-in to execute strategies and achieve results. We help clients transform plans into actionable programs—and monitor and refine the work as we go along to ensure its effectiveness.
