Project Title: Extrapolate. Development of an Ex ante Tool for Ranking Policy Alternatives
Description: EXTRAPOLATE arose out of the need for a decision support tool to assess the impact of different policy measures. By disaggregating the effects of policy interventions the tool facilitates discussion of the relevant issues and enables users to visualize the predicted impacts of policy interventions, based on a simple numerical analysis.. The idea is for the tool to serve as a filter that allows the user to sift through, in an ex-ante fashion, a range of policy measures to identify those that could be applied in a specific situation to achieve particular outcomes that further policy objectives of decision makers in general. This would be the first step in assessing potential impact before looking at things in more detail. This filtering is done in relation to the broad characteristics of the population, resources, agro-ecology, etc.
