Policy Analysis Exercise The LKYSPP Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE) is designed to engage second-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) students in a supervised project with clients from the public, private or people sectors. The PAE presents an opportunity for students to apply the knowledge and tools acquired through the MPP programme to real-world policy issues, while also adding value to the client organisations by generating fresh perspectives and actionable insights. Students work in small groups with a Faculty Advisor (FA) and a client to identify a policy problem, prepare a project work plan, conduct research (including fieldwork, where relevant), and prepare a final project report report that is both relevant to the client and consistent with LKYSPP's high academic standards. The PAE culminates with a conference where the student groups present their findings and recommendations to the client.
Sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom. - Nelson Mandela
