NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Good Policy is grounded in evidence based robust data. It is strategic, inclusive, flexible, innovative, joined up and focused on the delivery of cost effective outcomes that matter.
UK Policy development is the process by which the government translates its political vision into programmes and actions to deliver these outcomes. Such Policy is driv
en by European law, political objectives and budgetary constraints and as such Policy development is a complex process, often calling upon the expertise provided by ADAS.
ADAS works with Policy makers at all levels to provide an independent, authoritative voice on issues key to the National, European and international agenda.
Environmental issues have never been higher on the political agenda and ADAS is particularly active in the design and implementation of measures that enable stakeholders to meet the requirements detailed in a plethora of EU directives. For example, ADAS specialists are internationally renowned in the field of environmental modelling, providing Policy makers with likely outcomes from different Policy options based on models of the complex interactions between Man and the environment.
Policy implementation is a key component of the Policy development process and represents an 
important feature of ADAS work on Policy. As external consultants, highly experienced ADAS staff are able to take an holistic view to ensure that implementation procedures are cost effective and deliver the desired outcomes.
Implementation can be continuously improved if robust evaluation and monitoring schemes are in place to ensure that previously defined milestones are being attained. ADAS has an impressive case history of projects in which it has helped at every stage of the process from Policy research and development, through implementation, monitoring, evaluation and delivery of desired outcomes.
