Policy Support System

Project Principal Investigator(s): Pooja Bassin (Researcher)

Policy interventions are the primary mechanisms adopted by several countries towards improving their indicators and achieving targets based on the United Nations-Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). In our study, we look at sustainability holistically, modeling both downstream and lateral effects of policy interventions. These effects could be due to interventions towards a given target affecting other unrelated indicators, and/or interventions leading to acute disparities in nearby geographic areas. In the Policy Support System project, we study the impact of such interventions by taking into account their stability and resilience by performing predictive and prescriptive modeling for the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
