Policy Design & Advocacy Consulting

Translate vision into actionable policy. Zinaki partners with government agencies, NGOs, and private institutions to co-create evidence-based frameworks that secure buy-in and deliver measurable impact.

Why Policy Design & Advocacy?

Effective policy is the backbone of lasting social change—especially for the 55+ community. Many well-intentioned programs fail without a rigorous policy foundation and stakeholder alignment. Zinaki ensures your initiatives:

  • Reflect best-practice benchmarks and global research
  • Align with regulatory requirements and funding criteria
  • Engage stakeholders early and continuously
  • Include clear metrics for monitoring and evaluation

Our Four-Step Policy Blueprint

1. Situational Analysis & Research

We synthesize academic studies, comparative policy scans, and on-the-ground data to:

  • Map existing policy landscapes and regulatory gaps
  • Identify international best practices and case studies
  • Assess stakeholder interests, incentives, and barriers

2. Framework Development & Modeling

Building on insights, we co-develop policy frameworks that:

  • Define objectives, scope, and success criteria
  • Outline governance structures, roles, and responsibilities
  • Model financial & operational implications with cost-benefit analysis

3. Stakeholder Engagement & Advocacy

We design and execute targeted engagement strategies to:

  • Secure buy-in from policymakers, funders, and community leaders
  • Facilitate public consultations and expert workshops
  • Draft clear, persuasive policy briefs and communication materials

4. Implementation Planning & Monitoring

To ensure seamless rollout, we deliver:

  • Detailed implementation roadmaps with timelines & milestones
  • Monitoring & evaluation frameworks with KPI dashboards
  • Continuous feedback loops and iteration protocols
