For many organisations, influencing policy is a critical means to achieve long term change. For over a decade, the Research and Policy in Development (RAPID) team at ODI has worked around the world to understand how to foster sustainable policy change. The result is ROMA, the RAPID Outcome Mapping Approach, a guide to understanding, engaging with and influencing policy.
ROMA comprises a suite of tools that any organisation can use at any stage in the policy engagement process to improve how they diagnose the problem, set realistic objectives for policy influence, develop a plan to achieve those objectives, monitor and learn from the progress they are making and reflect this learning back into their work.
