In conducting policy engagement, context is king! What works in one place may not work in another – the effectiveness of policies is critically influenced by the contexts they are implemented in, which are often complex and dynamic.

After you complete the lecture, please take a moment to review the the reading Making sense of complexity in context and implementation: the Context and Implementation of Complex Interventions (CICI) framework

In the next activity, you will be invited to conduct your own Context analysis.
