Program Overview: What is Policy Analysis, Drafting and Regulatory Impact Assessment?
Policy Analysis, Drafting & Regulatory Impact Assessment is Edstellar's instructor-led program for policy analysts, government officials, and regulatory affairs teams. Participants master policy analysis foundations, legislative drafting structure, RIA methodology, cost-benefit analysis, and consultation planning. The program covers the full journey from evidence to enforceable regulation.
Training is built around live drafting work. Learners analyze policy options, draft regulatory clauses, and quantify costs and benefits in guided exercises modeled on real regulatory processes, complete with peer critique of the drafting. Instructors coach participants through evidence gathering and consultation design, reviewing every draft with rigorous feedback on legal soundness. The program closes with a capstone: a complete regulatory impact assessment and draft regulation.
Weak policy processes produce regulations that surprise markets, invite litigation, or die in implementation. This program teaches your team to build the evidence base first, consult properly, and draft rules that survive contact with reality. The result is regulation that achieves its intent.
The final deliverable mirrors the real policymaking gauntlet: a live regulatory problem, an RIA built from evidence through cost-benefit analysis, and the draft regulation itself. Your analysts return with a publishable assessment and drafting skills that survive legislative scrutiny.
Six modules and 24 hours: policy analysis foundations, drafting and legislative structure, RIA methodology, cost-benefit and evidence, consultation and implementation, and a capstone RIA and draft regulation. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so your team practices on realistic policy scenarios. Materials include lab guides, RIA templates, and drafting checklists.

Policy analysis and impact assessment build on knowing how policy is designed. After your team can analyse options and assess regulatory impact, it uses evidence more rigorously and then drafts the legislation that puts the policy into law.

Connect Policy Evidence With Clear Drafting and Defensible Regulatory Impact Assessment
Edstellar guides policy teams from problem definition to a coherent regulatory proposal. Participants develop options, compare impacts, and translate preferred approaches into draft provisions. Evidence and consultation exercises culminate in an RIA and draft regulation, reviewed for analytical transparency, internal consistency, and practical implementation and monitoring arrangements.
- Step 01
Consult
We review policy responsibilities, jurisdictional context, and experience with drafting or impact assessment to identify gaps in problem framing, evidence appraisal, or implementation planning.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish the policy problem and drafting structure before defining RIA baselines, comparing options, assessing costs and benefits, and planning consultation and implementation.
- Step 03
Align
We align policy analysis and regulatory drafting expertise with participants' subject areas, adapting analytical depth for differing experience with legal structure and economic evidence.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor case regulations and supplied impact data to familiar policy issues, keeping assumptions visible and stakeholder perspectives varied enough for meaningful options analysis.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants draft provisions, build cost-benefit tables, and design consultation plans, receiving feedback on coherence, evidence limitations, and connections between proposed measures and objectives.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the RIA and draft regulation for consistent problem definition, justified option selection, clear provisions, and implementation indicators that support subsequent evaluation.
