Economic & public policy analysis

There is growing consensus that inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic growth is crucial for global prosperity. With the majority of the world’s population residing in developing countries, where living standards remain far lower than in the developed world, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions and coordinated policies to drive inclusive growth and improve living standards.

At Nova Economics, we provide economic and public policy analysis to support governments, DFIs, and private-sector stakeholders in designing, implementing, and monitoring policies that promote sustainable growth. Our work helps clients assess policy options, anticipate economic and social impacts, and make informed, evidence-based decisions.

We apply expertise in applied economics, strategy, econometric and statistical modelling, and behavioural economics to enhance the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policy instruments. Our experience spans key sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa, including energy, financial services, health, and trade. We have supported clients on a wide range of policy issues – from energy pricing, carbon taxes, and electricity subsidies to financial inclusion and public health interventions.
