To support effective governance for just, secure societies, Abt brokers partnerships among governments, public-private coalitions, civil society organizations, and communities to calibrate and lead programs and policies responsive to local needs. We deliver expertise in public service and financial management, stabilization, decentralization, political economy, and digital planning and budgeting. We apply a political economy lens to all our programs to understand how incentives and motivations interact with rules and structures and affect power dynamics, resource distribution, and information asymmetry. In the U.S., we also advance meaningful change across the criminal and juvenile justice system, including intersections with health, housing, and social policy.
