Policy Development

Ulo provides specialist support in developing policies that are evidence-based, rights-focused, and gender-transformative. With over 30 years of combined expertise in research, policy analysis, advocacy, and organisational development, we bring both analytical depth and practical solutions to policy processes. Our work places particular emphasis on the protection and empowerment of women, children, and young people.

Our services include:

1. Policy Analysis & Gap Assessment: Reviewing existing frameworks to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement, with attention to gender equality and child/youth protection.

2. Inclusive Policy Design: Developing policies that integrate feminist principles, trauma-informed approaches, and child- and youth-sensitive perspectives.

3. Evidence-Based Recommendations: Translating research and lived experience into actionable and accessible policy guidance.

4. Facilitation & Consultation: Leading participatory processes to ensure diverse voices — including those of  women, children and youths — shape policy outcomes.

5. Capacity Strengthening: Providing tailored training, mentoring, and tools to support effective policy implementation, monitoring, and reform.

Our policy development work is cross-cultural, feminist, and grounded in accountability, ensuring policies are practical, resilient, and designed to advance long-term, transformative change for women, children, and reform.
