Political Economy Analysis

At Bodmando Consulting Group, we specialize in Political Economy Analysis (PEA) to help organizations and policymakers understand the underlying power dynamics, economic systems, and institutional frameworks that shape decision-making processes. PEA is a critical tool for designing effective strategies in complex and evolving contexts such as Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and health financing reforms.

Why Political Economy Analysis Matters

Political Economy Analysis enables a deeper understanding of:

  • Power dynamics: Who holds influence, and how decisions are made.
  • Economic drivers: How resources are allocated and priorities set.
  • Institutional frameworks: The structures and systems that enable or hinder reforms.

By uncovering these factors, PEA provides insights into barriers to change and opportunities for impactful interventions.

Our Approach to PEA

At Bodmando Consulting Group, our PEA framework is designed to be inclusive, evidence-based, and action-oriented. Here’s how we implement it:

  • We identify key stakeholders, including policymakers, development partners, community leaders, and private sector actors. Stakeholders are engaged throughout the research process to provide valuable insights and ensure the relevance of our analysis
  • We examine the historical, social, and economic contexts that shape decision-making. This includes understanding power relationships, political priorities, and the interplay of formal and informal institutions.
  • We use participatory approaches such as workshops, interviews, and focus group discussions to gather diverse perspective
  • Our analysis is grounded in robust data collection and critical evaluation, ensuring actionable and credible findings.
  • To maximize impact, we develop user-friendly outputs such as policy briefs, infographics, and capacity-building tools that translate complex findings into practical solutions.

Enhancing Stakeholder Engagement

Effective stakeholder engagement is essential to the success of PEA. However, this process is often underreported and inconsistently applied. At Bodmando Consulting Group, we prioritize:

  • Early involvement: Engaging stakeholders at the design phase to align research objectives with their needs.
  • Continuous dialogue: Maintaining active communication throughout the research process.
  • Inclusive platforms: Ensuring diverse voices are heard, particularly marginalized groups.

This approach ensures that PEA findings are relevant, actionable, and widely adopted
