Oxford Policy Management

OPM is a dynamic organisation that has grown robustly in recent years while maintaining its key specialist strengths. Our culture and management structure support excellent interaction across disciplines, ensuring that our work covers all the economic, social, organisational and administrative aspects of creating policy advice and delivering superior results. This core competence in professional cross-fertilisation is highly valued by our clients.

OPM provides consulting services in the following areas:

• Advice that clarifies policy and strategy options
• Applied research on policy alternatives
• Support for policy implementation
• Evaluations and impact assessments
• Training in aspects of public policy
• Development and evaluation of overall policy and strategies
• Organisational analysis and capacity strengthening
• Health financing and economic analysis of services
• Planning and strategy implementation support
• Health human resources development and management

We provide governments and the developing agencies with whom they work with solutions to some of the most complex and intractable international development problems. Most of our projects involve relationships with both a funder, typically an international development agency which directly or indirectly provides funding for our services, and a recipient, typically a government department or public agency in a developing country. Recent funders include DFID, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the EC, Danida, SIDA, FINNIDA, Norad, GTZ, UNICEF and UNDP.
